Famous quotes containing the words car and/or years:

    “Did ye not hear it?—No; ‘twas but the wind,
    Or the car rattling o’er the stony street;
    On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
    No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
    To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “And for 180 years almost nothing.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
