Fast Leg Theory

Famous quotes containing the words fast, leg and/or theory:

    “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)

    “Entrance and exit wounds are silvered clean,
    The track aches only when the rain reminds.
    The one-legged man forgets his leg of wood.
    The one-armed man his jointed wooden arm.
    The blinded man sees with his ears and hands
    As much or more than once with both his eyes.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “Could Shakespeare give a theory of Shakespeare?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
