Famous quotes containing the words motor and/or standards:

    “The motor idles.
    Over the immense upland
    the pulse of their blossoming
    thunders through us.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them. Everything with them is done as though for sale, and they naturally have in view the greatest possible benefit, profit and that end of the stuff that will make the best show.”
    —Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
