Famous quotes containing the words world, speed, skating and/or women:

    One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.
    Albert Einstein (1879–1955)

    The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.
    Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)

    Good writing is a kind of skating which carries off the performer where he would not go, and is only right admirable when to all its beauty and speed a subserviency to the will, like that of walking, is added.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A homely face and no figure have aided many women heavenward.
    Minna Antrim (1861–?)
