“The car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old- fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom.

—J.G. (James Graham)
“O, she walked unaware of her own increasing beauty
That was holding men’s thoughts from market or plough,”
—Patrick MacDonogh (1902–1961)
