Famous quotes containing the words sedan, chair and/or race:
“One way to do it might be by making the scenery penetrate the automobile. A polished black sedan was a good subject, especially if parked at the intersection of a tree-bordered street and one of those heavyish spring skies whose bloated gray clouds and amoeba-shaped blotches of blue seem more physical than the reticent elms and effusive pavement. Now break the body of the car into separate curves and panels; then put it together in terms of reflections.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“I knew this guy that broke my sister’s nose when I was a kid and I always thought that’s why he became a priest. He tied her up in a chair and it was like, you know, I thought he was like overcompensating.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
“Many are engaged in writing books and printing them,
Many desire to see their names in print,
Many read nothing but the race reports.
Much is your reading, but not the Word of GOD....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
