Grit Wheels

Famous quotes containing the words grit and/or wheels:

“The world is eaten up by boredom.... You can’t see it all at once. It is like dust. You go about and never notice, you breathe it in, you eat and drink it. It is sifted so fine, it doesn’t even grit on your teeth. But stand still for an instant and there it is, coating your face and hands. To shake off this drizzle of ashes you must be for ever on the go. And so people are always “on the go.””
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)

“A cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run.”
—Ouida [Marie Louise De La Ramée] (1839–1908)
