Fast Moving

Famous quotes containing the words fast and/or moving:

    “Across the lonely beach we flit,
    One little sandpiper and I;
    And fast I gather, bit by bit,
    The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
    The wild waves reach their hands for it,
    The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
    As up and down the beach we flit—
    One little sandpiper and I.”
    —Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)

    “There is no going back,
    For standing still means death, and life is moving on,
    Moving on towards death. But sometimes standing still is also life.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
