Vacuum Expectation

Famous quotes containing the words vacuum and/or expectation:

“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)

“The joy that comes past hope and beyond expectation is like no other pleasure in extent.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
