Famous quotes containing the words knight and/or engines:

“America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs.

—Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
