Rapid Service Stops

Famous quotes containing the words rapid, service and/or stops:

    In clear weather the laziest may look across the Bay as far as Plymouth at a glance, or over the Atlantic as far as human vision reaches, merely raising his eyelids; or if he is too lazy to look after all, he can hardly help hearing the ceaseless dash and roar of the breakers.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The masochist: “I send my tormentor hurrying hither and thither in the service of my suffering and desire.”

    A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
