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

    “What a pity if we do not live this short time according to the laws of the long time,—the eternal laws!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “What joy when the insouciant
    armadillo glances at us and doesn’t
    quicken his trotting
    across the track into the palm brush.
    What is this joy? That no animal
    falters, but knows what it must do?”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “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)

    “In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
