Tires

Famous quotes containing the word tires:

    “The tires slowly came to a rubbery stop.”

    And merrily hent the stile-a.
    A merry heart goes all the day,
    Your sad tires in a mile-a.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Sickness disgusts us with death, and we wish to get well, which is a way of wishing to live. But weakness and suffering, with manifold bodily woes, soon discourage the invalid from trying to regain ground: he tires of those respites which are but snares, of that faltering strength, those ardors cut short, and that perpetual lying in wait for the next attack.”
    —Marguerite Yourcenar (1903–1987)
