True Vacuum

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or vacuum:

    Woman and fool are two hard things to hit,
    For true no-meaning puzzles more than wit.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    No, it wasn’t an accident, I didn’t say that. It was carefully planned, down to the tiniest mechanical and emotional detail. But it was a mistake. It was a beaut. In the end, somehow granted the time for examination, we shall find that our so-called civilization was gloriously destroyed by a handful of vacuum tubes and transistors. Probably faulty.
    John Paxton (1911–1985)
