Famous quotes containing the word swift:

    Thus with imagined wing our swift scene flies
    In motion of no less celerity
    Than that of thought.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I am struck by the way people behave on the Tube. They look at each other beadily and inquisitively, and something goes on in their thoughts which must be equivalent to the way dogs and other animals, when they meet, sniff each other’s arses and nuzzle each other’s fur.
    —Graham Swift (b. 1949)

    As with a moral view designed
    To cure the vices of mankind;
    His vein, ironically grave,
    Exposed the fool, and lashed the knave;
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
