Automobiles are free of egotism, passion, prejudice and stupid ideas about where to have dinner. They are, literally, selfless. A world designed for automobiles instead of people would have wider streets, larger dining rooms, fewer stairs to climb and no smelly, dangerous subway stations. --P. J. O'Rourke (b. 1947), U.S. journalist. Give War a Chance, An Argument in Favor of Automobiles vs Pedestrians (1992).
