Smoke Tests

Famous quotes containing the words smoke and/or tests:

“Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack”
—John Masefield (1878–1967)

“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
