Famous quotes containing the words automobile and/or company:
“I shall not bring an automobile with me. These inventions infest France almost as much as Bloomer cycling costumes, but they make a horrid racket, and are particularly objectionable. So are the Bloomers. Nothing more abominable has ever been invented. Perhaps the automobile tricycles may succeed better, but I abjure all these works of the devil.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (18381918)
“The company of women of fashion will improve your manners, though not your understanding; and that complaisance and politeness, which are so useful in mens company, can only be acquired in womens.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
