Volkswagen Quotes By Clark Gillies

Volkswagen Quotes By Emily St. John Mandel

There are children on the island who go barefoot all summer and wear feathers in their hair, the Volkswagen vans in which their parents arrived in the '70s turning to rust in the forest. Every year there are approximately two hundred days of rain. There's a village of sorts by the ferry terminal: a general store with one gas pump, a health-food store, a real-estate office, an elementary school with sixty students, a community hall with two massive carved mermaids holding hands to form an archway over the front door and a tiny library attached. The rest of the island is mostly rock and forest, narrow roads with dirt driveways disappearing into the trees. — Emily St. John Mandel

Volkswagen Quotes By Robert David Hall

A drunk truck driver ran over me. I was in a Volkswagen. It was horrible. It sounds like a cliche, but anything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I give a lot of credit to my dad, who was a very strong guy. — Robert David Hall

Volkswagen Quotes By Thomas L. Friedman

Intel engineers did a rough calculation of what would happen had a 1971 Volkswagen Beetle improved at the same rate as microchips did under Moore's law. These are the numbers: Today, that Beetle would be able to go about three hundred thousand miles per hour. It would get two million miles per gallon of gas, and it would cost four cents! Intel engineers also estimated that if automobile fuel efficiency improved at the same rate as Moore's law, you could, roughly speaking, drive a car your whole life on one tank of gasoline. What — Thomas L. Friedman

Volkswagen Quotes By Woody Harrelson

When I'm in New York, I bike everywhere. I have a couple of bikes stored over at Ed Norton's. It's the only way to go. But in Hawaii, I drive. I have a little Volkswagen Bug, from the 'Drive it? Hug it?' phase. I run it on biodiesel. — Woody Harrelson

Volkswagen Quotes By Paul W. S. Anderson

The first job I did was Volkswagen, we shot it in Long Beach, and it was like they won multiple awards with it and they were super excited about it and that kind of launched me into the world of commercials. Still most of what I do is car-related stuff. — Paul W. S. Anderson

Volkswagen Quotes By Adolf Hitler

A car for the people, an affordable Volkswagen, would bring great joy to the masses and the problems of building such a car must be faced with courage. — Adolf Hitler

The integrated automotive group of Volkswagen and Porsche is a certainty. — Martin Winterkorn

Volkswagen Quotes By John Irving

There were some very good books in the backseat of the little Volkswagen; good books were the best protection from evil that Pepe had actually held in his hands - you could not hold faith in Jesus in your hands, not in quite the same way you could hold good books. — John Irving

Volkswagen Quotes By Haruki Murakami

All without any more sound than flipping over a playing card. And sitting in this limo, compared to my fifteen-year-old Volkswagen Beetle I'd bought off a friend, was as quiet as sitting at the bottom of a lake wearing earplugs. — Haruki Murakami

Volkswagen Quotes By Martin Winterkorn

Volkswagen has been, is, and will always be my life. — Martin Winterkorn

Volkswagen Quotes By James Heckman

I remember that, one day, I was visiting one training center in the 1990s that was teaching people how to fix Volkswagen engines from the 1960s, which were no longer sold. So you were training people on a skill that had zero value. The reason is that they hadn't received any new equipment in 20 years. — James Heckman

Volkswagen Quotes By N.D. Wilson

Volkswagen Quotes By Frank Conroy

The author makes a tacit deal with the reader. You hand them a backpack. You ask them to place certain things in it - to remember, to keep in mind - as they make their way up the hill. If you hand them a yellow Volkswagen and they have to haul this to the top of the mountain - to the end of the story - and they find that this Volkswagen has nothing whatsoever to do with your story, you're going to have a very irritated reader on your hands. — Frank Conroy

Volkswagen Quotes By David Brooks

/ ... /he was asked to march to the front hall and retrieve his backpack. He did so with the energy of a convicted killer on his way to the execution chamber. Harold's backpack was an encyclopedia of boyhood interests and suggested that Harold was well on his way to a promising career as a homeless person. Inside, if one dug down through various geological layers, one could find old pretzels, juice boxes, toy cars, Pokemon cards, PSP games/ ... /The backpack weighed slightly less than a Volkswagen. — David Brooks

Volkswagen Quotes By Jane Shellenberger

My first vegetable garden was in a hard-packed dirt driveway in Boulder, Colorado. I was living in a basement apartment there, having jumped at the chance to come out West with a friend in his Volkswagen Bug, fleeing college and inner-city Philadelphia. I was twenty, hungry for experience, and fully intending to be a ski bum in my new life. But it didn't turn out that way. — Jane Shellenberger

Volkswagen Quotes By Tom Waits

I just don't like the word 'fun'
it's like Volkswagen, or bell-bottoms, or patchouli-oil or bean-sprouts ... it rubs me up the wrong way. — Tom Waits

Volkswagen Quotes By Becca Fitzpatrick

One more thing. I sold the mustang. Too conspicuous. Don't get too excited, but I bought you a little something with the extra cash. I heard you've had your eye on a Volkswagen. The owner is dropping it by tomorrow. I paid for a full tank of gas, so make sure she delivers. — Becca Fitzpatrick

Volkswagen Quotes By Nicholas Kristof

We journalists are a bit like vultures, feasting on war, scandal and disaster. Turn on the news, and you see Syrian refugees, Volkswagen corruption, dysfunctional government. Yet that reflects a selection bias in how we report the news: We cover planes that crash, not planes that take off. — Nicholas Kristof

Volkswagen Quotes By Martin Winterkorn

Regardless of whether we are in an upturn or a downturn, our goal is to ensure the Volkswagen Group reaches the top of the automotive industry. — Martin Winterkorn

Volkswagen Quotes By Kirby Howell

I stopped looking at the cars after the first few miles. Once I started to see past the exteriors, I saw what lay inside some of them and felt the urge to sprint to the nearest freeway exit. Some people had tried to outrun The Plague by leaving town. They hadn't realized the illness could still find them in their cars, and now the 405 was one of the largest graveyards in the world. I thought for a moment about all of the other cities across the globe that probably had scenes just like this. My eyes stung, wondering if my mother, my dad, or any of my friends were in similar graveyards.
I made the mistake of glancing into an overturned Volkswagen Beetle as I passed and saw a pair of legs clad in jeans and white Jack Purcell sneakers in the shadows of the car. They reminded me of Sarah's shoes. The man who laced those up that morning hadn't realized he wouldn't be taking them off again. — Kirby Howell

Volkswagen Quotes By Lenny Henry

They don't make red noses to fit black people. I have a wide nose like a Volkswagen and I have never had a red nose that fitted me. — Lenny Henry

Volkswagen Quotes By Martin Winterkorn

2008 was a good - a very successful year for Volkswagen. — Martin Winterkorn

Volkswagen Quotes By Jim Butcher

I brought the Beetle to life with a roar. Well. Not really a roar. A Volkswagen Bug doesn't roar. But it sort of growled ... — Jim Butcher

Volkswagen Quotes By Martin Winterkorn

Volkswagen must continue to attack and make good use of its opportunities. — Martin Winterkorn

Volkswagen Quotes By Chuck Feeney

I always tried to live my life as though nothing changed. People would say, 'You can have a Rolls-Royce'. I'd say to that, 'What do I want with a Rolls-Royce when I can have a Volkswagen or a bike?' Some people get carried away with the juice. — Chuck Feeney

Volkswagen Quotes By Maggie Stiefvater

Do you feel better?" I asked Sam as he opened the door to the Volkswagen for me.
"Yes," he said. He was still a terrible liar.
"Good," I said. I was still a fantastic one. — Maggie Stiefvater

Volkswagen Quotes By J.A. Konrath

There's one." Roy reached over and pounded Bert in the leg. "Slug bug black, no hit backs." "Where?" "Right there." "That's a BMW." Bert smacked Roy twice. "Wrong car, double hit backs." "Can you guys quit this, please?" Tom looked ahead in the distance. "Oh God, no." "Here it is." The cabbie pointed to his right. "Largest Volkswagen dealership in Los Angeles." It was ugly. Real ugly. When — J.A. Konrath

Volkswagen Quotes By Jon Hamm

I drove around in a Volkswagen Rabbit I shared with one of my roommates, and it didn't have a roof. It doesn't rain much in L.A., but when it did, it was utterly miserable. — Jon Hamm

Volkswagen Quotes By Edith Hahn Beer

The farmers had grown proud and haughty. They ate better than anyone else in Germany now. And, like Volkswagen and Siemens, they had slaves. All they had to do was feed the local Nazi power elite, and they could have all the slaves they wanted. — Edith Hahn Beer

Volkswagen Quotes By Justin Vernon

Licensing is how indie rock people make a living these days, so whatever about that. But I want good films and good placement for the songs because I want to be exclusive. I don't want to just sign it away because I don't want songs to lose meaning, but I'm also ... I don't care [that] Wilco sold songs to Volkswagen. That's great. They probably drive Volkswagens. — Justin Vernon

Volkswagen Quotes By Joseph Fink

Josie's house was near the edge of town, next to the used car lot. When a person was done with a car, and they didn't need to pawn it, they would park it in the used car lot, open the door, and run as fast they could for the fence, before the used car salesmen could catch them. No one ever came to buy one. The used car salesmen loped between the lines of cars, their hackles raised and their fur on end. They would stroke the hood of a Toyota Sienna, radiant with heat in the desert sun, or poke curiously at the bumper of a Volkswagen Golf, nearly dislodged by potholes and tied on with a few zip ties. The used car salesmen were fast and ravenous, and sometimes a person who meant only to leave their car would leave much more than that. — Joseph Fink

Volkswagen Quotes By Martin Winterkorn

The U.S. market has the highest priority for Volkswagen. — Martin Winterkorn

Volkswagen Quotes By Sienna McQuillen

What's wrong with these Volkswagen model names anyway?
What the fuck is a Tiguan?
They should go back to the trad German names,
names like
Masterracer,
Schwarzersmashen,
Judenkillen,
and Boschenbabybayoneten. — Sienna McQuillen

Volkswagen Quotes By Steven Magee

Obviously, a lot of people involved with Volkswagen's emissions were aware of the diesel car software cheat. One has to wonder how many of them tried to stop it and perhaps were demoted or lost their jobs over trying to prevent the secret Volkswagen car emissions fraud? — Steven Magee

Volkswagen Quotes By Martin Winterkorn

Combining their operating business will make Volkswagen and Porsche even stronger - both financially and strategically - going forward. — Martin Winterkorn

Volkswagen Quotes By Maggie Stiefvater

You're assuming they would listen to me," I said.
Cole lifted his hands off the roof of the Volkswagen; cloudy fingerprints evaporated seconds ater he did. "We all listen to you, Sam."
He jumped to the pavement. "You just don't always talk to us. — Maggie Stiefvater

Volkswagen Quotes By Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

I made commercials for corporations like Volkswagen and Coca-Cola, but I was always the one to write them, too, which was a very good exercise, because I learned to tell little stories. — Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Volkswagen Quotes By Martin Winterkorn

The violations of these diesel motors by our company go against everything that Volkswagen stands for ... at this time, I don't yet have the answers to all the questions.
