Spur Wheel

Famous quotes containing the words spur and/or wheel:

“We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do—it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“Having a wheel and four legs of its own
Has never availed the cumbersome grindstone
To get it anywhere that I can see.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
