Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or reaction:
“Under and around the quick background,
Surface is improvisation.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“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)
