Famous quotes containing the words cable, speed, serial and/or data:
“To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.”
—Douglass Cross (b. 1920)
“No speed of wind or water rushing by
But you have speed far greater.”

“An autobiography is an obituary in serial form with the last instalment missing.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
