Flat Tires

Famous quotes containing the words flat and/or tires:

    And thou, all-shaking thunder,
    Strike flat the thick rotundity o’ the world!
    Crack nature’s moulds, all germens spill at once
    That makes ingrateful man!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Sickness disgusts us with death, and we wish to get well, which is a way of wishing to live. But weakness and suffering, with manifold bodily woes, soon discourage the invalid from trying to regain ground: he tires of those respites which are but snares, of that faltering strength, those ardors cut short, and that perpetual lying in wait for the next attack.
    Marguerite Yourcenar (1903–1987)
