Fast

Famous quotes containing the word fast:

    “All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
    —Sally Placksin (20th century)

    “There was a literary gentleman present who who had dramatised in his time two hundred and forty-seven novels as fast as they had come out—and who was a literary gentleman in consequence.”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    “Huck waited for no particulars. He sprang away and sped down the hill as fast as his legs could carry him.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
