Famous quotes containing the words america on, america and/or wheels:

    That great America on the other side of the sphere, Australia.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Nature in America has always been suspect, on the defensive, cannibalized by progress. In America, every specimen becomes a relic.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
    The lowing herd wind slowly o’er the lea,
    The ploughman homeward plods his weary way,
    And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
    Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight,
    And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
    Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,
    And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds.
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
