Slow Speed

Famous quotes containing the words slow and/or speed:

    Young men soon give, and soon forget, affronts;
    Old age is slow in both.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.
    Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
