Long Track Speed

Famous quotes containing the words long, track and/or speed:

    For certain minutes at the least
    That crafty demon and that loud beast
    That plague me day and night

    Between my hatred and desire....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The terror of the atom age is not the violence of the new power but the speed of man’s adjustment to it—the speed of his acceptance.
