Taurus Engines

Famous quotes containing the words taurus and/or engines:

    Upper and Lower Kingdom will declare
    God’s in this wooden toy,
    no less
    than where
    great Taurus ploughs his course.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.
    Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
