Meanwhile music pounded / across hearts opening every valve to the desperate drama of being / a self in a song.
Anne Carson

The safety-valves of the heart, when too much pressure is laid on.
Albert Richard Smith

I've always had a flare for the dramatic. I thought about being an actor and I thought about directing, but writing truly became something I needed to do, just to stay sane. It's my over-pressure valve.
Marti Noxon
Image
Laughter is the valve on the pressure cooker of life. Either you laugh and suffer, or you got your beans or brains on the ceiling.
Wavy Gravy

I still preserve those relics of past sufferings and experience, like pillars of witness set up in travelling through the valve of life, to mark particular occurrences. The footsteps are obliterated now the face of the country may be changed but the pillar is still there, to remind me how all things were when it was reared.

The culture at Valve is pretty much crowdsourced. The handbook is a wiki. One of the first things we say to new hires is, 'You have to change something in the handbook.'

The possibility of killing one's self is a safety valve. Having it, man has no right to say life is unbearable.
Leo Tolstoy

I like a big neck – thick, flat and wide. I lacquered the fingerboard with Rustin's Plastic Coating. The tremolo is interesting in that the arm's made from an old bicycle saddle bag carrier, the knob at the end's off a knitting needle and the springs are valve springs from an old motorbike.

A sense of humor is an escape valve for the pressures of life.
Richard G. Scott
Image
When pressure builds up, don't panic. Pray! Prayer is a tremendous stress reliever. It can be your safety valve.
Rick Warren
Image
The free expression of opinion, as experience has taught us, is the safety-valve of passion. The noise of the rushing steam, when it escapes, alarms the timid but it is the sign that we are safe. The concession of reasonable privilege anticipates the growth of furious-appetite.
Herbert Gladstone, 1st Viscount Gladstone

I use a portable pocket ultrasound device instead of a stethoscope to listen to the heart, and I share it with the patient in real time. 'Look at your valve, look at your heart-muscle strength.' So they're looking at it with me. Normally a patient is tested by an ultrasonographer who is not allowed to tell them anything.

I can tell you where I was when Kennedy was shot - which was in the common room at school. I heard about it on the old valve radio. At the time of Armstrong's landing, I was at university rehearsing a play.
