Speed Quotes (page 15)

as the slow sea sucked at the shore and then withdrew, leaving the strip of seaweed bare and the shingle churned, the sea birds raced and ran upon the beaches. Then that same impulse to flight seized upon them too. Crying, whistling, calling, they skimmed the placid sea and left the shore. Make haste, make speed, hurry and begone; yet where, and to what purpose? The restless urge of autumn, unsatisfying, sad, had put a spell upon them and they must flock, and wheel, and cry; they must spill... Daphne du Maurier
It is harrowing for me to try to teach 20-year-old students, who earnestly want to improve their writing. The best I can think to tell them is: Quit smoking, and observe posted speed limits. This will improve your odds of getting old enough to be wise Barbara Kingsolver
As to remedying our personal mistakes, we face no hindering traffic jams on the road of repentance. It is a toll road, not a freeway, and applying Christ’s Atonement will speed us along. Neal A. Maxwell
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "Falling does not cover the speed and abruptness of being..."
Falling does not cover the speed and abruptness of being thrown from less than ten feet high. Laurell K. Hamilton
The eye solicited alone makes the ear impatient, the ear solicited alone makes the eye impatient. Use these impatiences. Power of the cinematographer who appeals to the two senses in a governable way. Against the tactics of speed, of noise, set tactics of slowness, of silence. Robert Bresson
In a vacuum all photons travel at the same speed. They slow down when travelling through air or water or glass. Photons of different energies are slowed down at different rates. If Tolstoy had known this, would he have recognised the terrible untruth at the beginning of Anna Karenina? 'All happy families are alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own particular way.' In fact it's the other way around. Happiness is a specific. Misery is a generalisation. People usually know exactly why... Jeanette Winterson
The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it. Edward R. Murrow
Team sports aren't my thing. I find it easier to pick something up if I can do it at my own speed. And you don't need a partner to go running, you don't need a particular place, like in tennis, just a pair of trainers. Haruki Murakami
Lord Mountbatten quote: "The primary factor in a successful attack is speed."
The primary factor in a successful attack is speed. Lord Mountbatten
Robert Morgan quote: "With prose you can incorporate more details, develop scenes,..."
With prose you can incorporate more details, develop scenes, sustain the tension in a special way. Prose has its own speed. Robert Morgan
We tried many times before to speed on the social revolution in Spain; attempted to stir up the feelings of the people and to raise the banner of Libertarian Communism. Frederica Montseny
Maria Mitchell quote: "The Southern character is opposed to haste. Safety is of more..."
The Southern character is opposed to haste. Safety is of more worth than speed, and there is no hurry. Maria Mitchell
Ruud Gullit quote: "I am very fit and by playing sweeper I can control the speed..."
I am very fit and by playing sweeper I can control the speed of the game. Ruud Gullit
I wasn't naturally gifted in terms of size and speed; everything I did in hockey I worked for, and that's the way I'll be as a coach. Wayne Gretzky
Rocket scientists agree that we have about reached the limit of our ability to travel in space using chemical rockets. To achieve anything near the speed of light we will need a new energy source and a new propellant. Nuclear fission is not an option. Wilson Greatbatch
