Famous quotes containing the words ice and/or skating:

    ““A tedious brief scene of young Pyramus
    And his love Thisbe, very tragical mirth”—
    Merry and tragical? Tedious and brief?
    That is hot ice and wondrous strange snow!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)
