Speed Queries

Famous quotes containing the words speed and/or queries:

    Spig Wead: I’ve been thinking what a heel I’ve been about you and about my own kids. I don’t know, when I do something, I go all the way. Living. Gambling. Flying. I tap myself out. I guess that’s the way I want it to be. Maybe even the way I am.
    Minne Wead: Star-spangled Spig. Damn the martinis, full speed ahead and don’t give up the ship.
    Frank Fenton, William Wister Haines, co-scenarist, and John Ford. Spig Wead (John Wayne)

    All I can say, in answer to this kind queries [of friends] is that I have not the distemper called the Plague; but that I have all the plagues of old age, and of a shattered carcase.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
