Fast Tracks

Famous quotes containing the words fast and/or tracks:

“Endlessly, time-honoured irritant,
A bubble is restively forming at your tip.
Burst it as fast as we can
It will grow again, until we begin dying.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Our law very often reminds one of those outskirts of cities where you cannot for a long time tell how the streets come to wind about in so capricious and serpent-like a manner. At last it strikes you that they grew up, house by house, on the devious tracks of the old green lanes; and if you follow on to the existing fields, you may often find the change half complete.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
