Gold Alloy Wheels

Famous quotes containing the words gold, alloy and/or wheels:

    We ask which means most, for us, all the genii
    Or one man who, for us, is greater than they.

    Miraculous in its panache and swish?
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    You utilitarians, you too love everything useful only as a vehicle of your inclinations—you too really find the noise of its wheels intolerable?
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
