Famous quotes containing the words high, speed and/or thrill:
“But man, proud man,
Dressed in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what hes most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“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 (18881974)
“One of lifes primal situations; the game of hide and seek. Oh, the delicious thrill of hiding while the others come looking for you, the delicious terror of being discovered, but what panic when, after a long search, the others abandon you! You mustnt hide too well. You mustnt be too good at the game. The player must never be bigger than the game itself.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
