Indirect Drive

Famous quotes containing the words indirect and/or drive:

    Long as I have lived, and many blasphemers as I have heard and seen, I have never yet heard or witnessed any direct and conscious blasphemy or irreverence; but of indirect and habitual, enough. Where is the man who is guilty of direct and personal insolence to Him that made him?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We do not want them to have less.
    But it is only natural that we should think we have not enough.
    We drive on, we drive on.
    When we speak to each other our voices are a little gruff.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
