Famous quotes containing the words high, speed and/or line:
“O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear, your true loves coming,
That can sing both high and low.
Trip no further, pretty sweeting.
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise mans son doth know.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“For myself and my loved ones, I want the heat, which comes at the speed of light. I dont want to have to hang about for the blast, which idles along at the speed of sound.”
—Martin Amis (b. 1949)
“If youre anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
of culture rare,
You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant
them everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
complicated state of mind,
The meaning doesnt matter if its only idle chatter of a
transcendental kind.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
