High Speed Line

Famous quotes containing the words high, speed and/or line:

“Ay, look: high heaven and earth ail from the prime foundation;
All thoughts to rive the heart are here, and all are vain:
Horror and scorn and hate and fear and indignation—
Oh, why did I awake? When shall I sleep again?”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)

“There was such speed in her little body,
And such lightness in her footfall,
It is no wonder her brown study
Astonishes us all.”

“A line will take us hours maybe;
Yet if it does not seem a moment’s thought,
Our stitching and unstitching has been naught.”
