Famous quotes containing the word cars:

    “Cuchulain stirred,
    Stared on the horses of the sea, and heard
    The cars of battle and his own name cried;
    And fought with the invulnerable tide.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The startings and arrivals of the cars are now the epochs in the village day.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.”
    —Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)
