Fast

Famous quotes containing the word fast:

“Today’s pressures on middle-class children to grow up fast begin in early childhood. Chief among them is the pressure for early intellectual attainment, deriving from a changed perception of precocity. Several decades ago precocity was looked upon with great suspicion. The child prodigy, it was thought, turned out to be a neurotic adult; thus the phrase “early ripe, early rot!””
—David Elkind (20th century)

“When I am here, I do not fast on the Sabbath; when I am in Rome, I fast on the Sabbath.”
—Ambrose (c. 333–397)

“Time flies like an arrow; the days and nights alternate as fast as a weaver’s shuttle.”
—Chinese proverb.
