Famous quotes containing the words front, wheel and/or drive:

    You had to have seen the corpses lying there in front of the school—the men with their caps covering their faces—to know the meaning of class hatred and the spirit of revenge.
    Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)

    You do me wrong to take me out o’ th’ grave:
    Thou art a soul in bliss, but I am bound
    Upon a wheel of fire, that mine own tears
    Do scald like molten lead.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    To drive Paul out of any lumber camp
    All that was needed was to say to him,
    “How is the wife, Paul?” and he’d disappear.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
