Speed Side

Famous quotes containing the words speed and/or side:

    Among the laws controlling human societies there is one more precise and clearer, it seems to me, than all the others. If men are to remain civilized or to become civilized, the art of association must develop and improve among them at the same speed as equality of conditions spreads.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
