Rapidly

Famous quotes containing the word rapidly:

    Unfortunately, moral beauty in art—like physical beauty in a person—is extremely perishable. It is nowhere so durable as artistic or intellectual beauty. Moral beauty has a tendency to decay very rapidly into sententiousness or untimeliness.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    The locomotive, working rapidly with its elbows, hurried through a pine forest, then—with relief—among fields.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    The radiance was that of the full, setting, and blood-red moon, which now shone vividly through that once barely- discernible fissure,... extending from the roof of the building, in a zigzag direction, to the base. While I gazed, this fissure rapidly widened.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
