Famous quotes containing the words motor, coach and/or industries:

    “What shall we do with country quiet now?
    A motor drones insanely in the blue
    Like a bad bird in a dream.”
    —Babette Deutsch (1895–1982)

    “Oh! joyous hearts! enfired with holy flame!
    Is speech thus tasseled with praise?
    Will not your inward fire of joy contain:
    That it in open flames doth blaze?
    For in Christ’s coach saints sweetly sing,
    As they to glory ride therein.”
    —Edward Taylor (1645–1729)

    “All industries are brought under the control of such people [film producers] by Capitalism. If the capitalists let themselves be seduced from their pursuit of profits to the enchantments of art, they would be bankrupt before they knew where they were. You cannot combine the pursuit of money with the pursuit of art.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
