Famous quotes containing the words rapid and/or transit:
“More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”
—Clement Clarke Moore (17791863)
“Theres that popular misconception of man as something between a brute and an angel. Actually man is in transit between brute and God.”
