Long Track Speed

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

    The long high tent of growing and making, wired-off
    Wood tables past which crowds shuffle, eyeing the scrubbed

    The war is dreadful. It is the business of the artist to follow it home to the heart of the individual fighters—not to talk in armies and nations and numbers—but to track it home.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Among the laws controlling human societies there is one more precise and clearer, it seems to me, than all the others. If men are to remain civilized or to become civilized, the art of association must develop and improve among them at the same speed as equality of conditions spreads.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
