Fast Moving

Famous quotes containing the words fast and/or moving:

“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)

“Leaving me guilted on a moving stair
Upwards, down which I regularly fell
Tail backwards ...”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
