Famous quotes containing the words car and/or series:
“Did ye not hear it?No; twas but the wind,
Or the car rattling oer 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 (17881824)
“The theory of truth is a series of truisms.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
