Famous quotes containing the words day, fast and/or pass:
“Through the din and desultoriness of noon, even in the most Oriental city, is seen the fresh and primitive and savage nature, in which Scythians and Ethiopians and Indians dwell. What is echo, what are light and shade, day and night, ocean and stars, earthquake and eclipse, there? The works of man are everywhere swallowed up in the immensity of nature. The AEgean Sea is but Lake Huron still to the Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“I dont go that fast in practice, because I need the excitement of the race, the adrenalin. The others might train more and be in better shape, but when Im racing, I put winning before everything else. I dont stop until the world gets gray and fuzzy around the edges.”
—Candi Clark (b. c. 1950)
“if she were lacking all grace
theyd pass her in silence:
so its not only to say shes
a warm hole.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
