Famous quotes containing the words engine and/or fast:
“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.”

“Across the lonely beach we flit,
One little sandpiper and I;
And fast I gather, bit by bit,
The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
The wild waves reach their hands for it,
The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
As up and down the beach we flit—
One little sandpiper and I.”
—Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)
