Famous quotes containing the words car and/or crash:
“Did ye not hear it?—No; ‘twas but the wind,
Or the car rattling o’er the stony street;
On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“You crash over the trees,
you crack the live branch.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
