Fast Action

Famous quotes containing the words fast and/or action:

“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

“You mustn’t look in my novel for the old stable ego of the character. There is another ego, according to whose action the individual is unrecognisable.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
