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

    The finest manners in the world are awkwardness and fatuity when contrasted with a finer intelligence. They appear but as the fashions of past days,—mere courtliness, knee-buckles and small- clothes, out of date.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    No speed of wind or water rushing by
    But you have speed far greater.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    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)

    The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
    Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)
