Famous quotes containing the words motor, company and/or cars:

    “We disparage reason.
    But all the time it’s what we’re most concerned with.
    There’s will as motor and there’s will as brakes.
    Reason is, I suppose, the steering gear.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    “The production of obscurity in Paris compares to the production of motor cars in Detroit in the great period of American industry.”
    —Ernest Gellner (b. 1925)
