Famous quotes containing the words world, speed and/or skating:

    This land is your land & this land is my land—sure—but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.
    Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)

    There exist certain individuals who are, by nature, given purely to contemplation and are utterly unsuited to action, and who, nevertheless, under a mysterious and unknown impulse, sometimes act with a speed which they themselves would have thought beyond them.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    Good writing is a kind of skating which carries off the performer where he would not go, and is only right admirable when to all its beauty and speed a subserviency to the will, like that of walking, is added.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
