Ride

Famous quotes containing the word ride:

    The Danaan children laugh, in cradles of wrought gold,
    And clap their hands together, and half close their eyes,
    For they will ride the North when the ger-eagle flies,
    With heavy whitening wings, and a heart fallen cold....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Of coursers also spake they: Henry rid
    Well, like most Englishmen, and loved the races;
    And Juan, like a true-born Andalusian,
    Could back a horse, as despots ride a Russian.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    To sum up:
    1. The cosmos is a gigantic fly-wheel making 10,000 revolutions a minute.
    2. Man is a sick fly taking a dizzy ride on it.
    3. Religion is the theory that the wheel was designed and set spinning to give him the ride.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
