Red Wheel

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or wheel:

    By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
    Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.
    Truman Capote (1924–1984)
