Famous quotes containing the words high, speed and/or thrill:
“Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he
That every man in arms should wish to be?
It is the generous spirit, who, when brought
Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought
Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought:
Whose high endeavors are an inward light
That makes the path before him always bright:
Who, with a natural instinct to discern
What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn;
And in himself posses his own desire;”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
“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)
“I began quite early in life to sense the thrill a girl attains in supplying money to a man.”
—Anita Loos (18941981)
