Famous quotes containing the words high, speed and/or thrill:

    “We do not prove the existence of the poem.
    It is something seen and known in lesser poems.
    It is the huge, high harmony that sounds
    A little and a little, suddenly,
    By means of a separate sense. It is and it
    Is not and, therefore, is.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “There was such speed in her little body,
    And such lightness in her footfall,
    It is no wonder her brown study
    Astonishes us all.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “Generalization is always a new influx of divinity into the mind. Hence the thrill that attends it.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
