Famous quotes containing the words speed and/or skating:
“It was undoubtedly the feeling of exile—that sensation of a void within which never left us, that irrational longing to hark back to the past or else to speed up the march of time, and those keen shafts of memory that stung like fire.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
