Elizabeth BishopThe armored cars of dreams, contrived to let us do so many a dangerous thing.
About This Quote
The armored car of dreams is a term used to describe the people who are responsible for our lives. Sometimes, we feel driven by circumstances beyond our control to do things that are much more dangerous than sitting in the arm chair watching television. When we feel this way, it is important that we turn to the armored car of dreams. This person or people are responsible for keeping us safe from harm that could befall us if we do not follow their orders.
