Safety Car Returned

Famous quotes containing the words safety, car and/or returned:

    [As teenager], the trauma of near-misses and almost- consequences usually brings us to our senses. We finally come down someplace between our parents’ safety advice, which underestimates our ability, and our own unreasonable disregard for safety, which is our childlike wish for invulnerability. Our definition of acceptable risk becomes a product of our own experience.
    Roger Gould (20th century)

    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)

    After that it came to my door. Now it lives here.
    And of course: it is a soft sound, soft as a seal’s ear,
    that was caught between a shape and a shape and then returned to me.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
