High Speed Trains

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

    “There’s Margaret and Marjorie and Dorothy and Nan,
    A Daphne and a Mary who live in privacy;
    One’s had her fill of lovers, another’s had but one,
    Another boasts, “I pick and choose and have but two or three.”
    If head and limb have beauty and the instep’s high and light
    They can spread out what sail they please for all I have to say....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “No speed of wind or water rushing by
    But you have speed far greater.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Ever notice how these European trains always smell of eau de cologne and hard boiled eggs?”
    —Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
