Smoke Alarms

Famous quotes containing the words smoke and/or alarms:

    God loafs around heaven,
    without a shape
    but He would like to smoke His cigar
    or bite His fingernails
    and so forth.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    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)
