Bicycle Built

Famous quotes containing the words bicycle and/or built:

“I well recall my horror when I heard for the first time, of a journalist who had laid in a pair of what were then called bicycle pants and taken to golf; it was as if I had encountered a studhorse with his hair done up in frizzes, and pink bowknots peeking out of them. It seemed, in some vague way, ignominious, and even a bit indelicate.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“The walls that fence our fields, as well as modern Rome, and not less the Parthenon itself, are all built of ruins.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
