Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or facts:
“Life is all memory except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going.”
—Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)
“These facts have always suggested to man the sublime creed that the world is not the product of manifold power, but of one will, of one mind; and that one mind is everywhere active, in each ray of the star, in each wavelet of the pool; and whatever opposes that will is everywhere balked and baffled, because things are made so, and not otherwise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
