Dead Engine

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or engine:

    “From too much love of living,
    From hope and fear set free,
    We thank with brief thanksgiving
    Whatever gods may be
    That no life lives for ever;
    That dead men rise up never;
    That even the weariest river
    Winds somewhere safe to sea.”
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    “The will is never free—it is always attached to an object, a purpose. It is simply the engine in the car—it can’t steer.”
    —Joyce Cary (1888–1957)
