Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or reaction:
“I often blotted what I had begun:
This was not quick enough, and that was dead.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
“Sole and self-commanded works,
Fears not undermining days,
Grows by decays,
And, by the famous might that lurks
In reaction and recoil,
Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
