Life is 440 horsepower in a 2-cylinder engine.

Let me be, was all I wanted. Be what I am, no matter how I am.

Who wants to live to be a hundred? What's the point of it? A short life and a merry one is far better than a long life sustained by fear, caution and perpetual medical surveillance

It was that engine which took me into automotive transportation.

Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge

The life of a creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most interesting which a man leads. There is a time for play and a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying fallow. And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean / when boredom seems the very stuff of life.
