Driving Point

Famous quotes containing the words driving and/or point:

    Death is another milestone on their way.
    With laughter on their lips and with winds blowing round them
    They record simply
    How this one excelled all others in making driving belts.
    Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

    Consider a man riding a bicycle. Whoever he is, we can say three things about him. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning and the end of his journey he stops moving and does not get off the bicycle he will fall off it. That is a metaphor for the journey through life of any living thing, and I think of any society of living things.
    William Golding (b. 1911)
