Famous quotes containing the words bus and/or fleet:
“Literature transforms and intensifies ordinary language, deviates systematically from everyday speech. If you approach me at a bus stop and murmur “Thou still unravished bride of quietness,” then I am instantly aware that I am in the presence of the literary.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
“They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
