Famous quotes containing the words wheel, drive and/or car:
“Helpless, unknown, and unremembered, most human beings, however sensitive, idealistic, intelligent, go through life as passengers rather than chauffeurs. Although we may pretend that it is the chauffeur who is the social inferior ... most of us, like Toad of Toad Hall, would not mind a turn at the wheel ourselves.”
—Ralph Harper (b. 1915)
“Expect no trivial truth from me, unless I am on the witness- stand. I will come as near to lying as you can drive a coach and four.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The car has become the carapace, the protective and aggressive shell, of urban and suburban man.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
