Light Speed

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or speed:

    Loosened from the minor’s tether;
    Free to mortgage or to sell,
    Wild as wind, and light as feather
    Bid the slaves of thrift farewell.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    For myself and my loved ones, I want the heat, which comes at the speed of light. I don’t want to have to hang about for the blast, which idles along at the speed of sound.
