Famous quotes containing the words smoke and/or alarms:

“I don’t want to smoke cigars or go to stag parties, wear jockey shorts or pick up the check.”

“Every disastrous accident alarms us, and sets us on enquiries concerning the principles whence it arose: Apprehensions spring up with regard to futurity: And the mind, sunk into diffidence, terror, and melancholy, has recourse to every method of appeasing those secret intelligent powers, on whom our fortune is supposed entirely to depend.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
