Rapid City Rapid

Famous quotes containing the words rapid and/or city:

    It now appears that the negro race is, more than any other, susceptible of rapid civilization. The emancipation is observed, in the islands, to have wrought for the negro a benefit as sudden as when a thermometer is brought out of the shade into the sun. It has given him eyes and ears.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Here far from the city we make our roadside stand
    And ask for some city money to feel in hand
    To try if it will not make our being expand,
    And give us the life of the moving-pictures’ promise
    That the party in power is said to be keeping from us.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
