Quotes About Speed

Didn't everything on God's earth have or acquire defense? Speed, some poison in the leaf, the tongue, the tail? A mask, flight, numbers in the millions producing numbers in the millions. A thorn here, a spike there.
~ Toni Morrison
As Stephen Katz, former CISO of Citibank, once said, "Controls don't slow the business down; like brakes on a car, controls allow you to go faster.
~ Kevin Behr
For better or worse, our lives are accelerating, and the only speed fast enough is instant.
~ Kevin Kelly
Now we get angry if the network is slow, but before, when we were innocent, we had no thoughts of the network at all.
~ Kevin Kelly
Po co mielibyÅ›my posiada?, skoro takÄ… samÄ… u?yteczno?? w czasie rzeczywistym zyskujemy dziÄ™ki wynajmowi, leasingowi, licencjonowaniu i dzieleniu siÄ™. Tak czy siak, nasze ?ycie przyspiesza, a jedynÄ… adekwatnÄ… prÄ™dkoÅ›ciÄ… jest natychmiastowo??. Tempem przyszÅ'oÅ›ci bÄ™dzie szybko?? poruszania siÄ™ elektronów.
~ Kevin Kelly
Maybe that's why we did things so fast," said Jerrier Haddad, a managing engineer on the 701. "We didn't have schedules to slow us down.
~ Kevin Maney
I'm starting to think about things that I want to do, things that are fun. One of them is driving a car like a Porsche. I've driven a lot of cars - sedans, trucks and big family vehicles all year long. But there's nothing like a four-wheel-drive Porsche.
~ Kevin O'Leary
It's not fun facing a ball going 97 mph, trust me.
~ Kevin Pietersen
It takes you 500,000 microseconds just to click a mouse. But if you're a Wall Street algorithm and you're five microseconds behind, you're a loser.
~ Kevin Slavin
For almost seven weeks, the ships of the fleet sailed their leisurely way across the Atlantic. Since the ships' captains wanted to stay in contact, the fleet could sail no faster than its slowest vessel. That meant even the larger, faster vessels only made about five or six knots under ideal circumstances.
~ Kieran Doherty
The fastest that human spacecraft are likely to achieve in the twenty-first century, I think, is 300 kilometres per second.
~ Kip S. Thorne
Now is history as fast as the mind remembers.
~ Kirby Wright
Love has its speed. It is a spiritual speed. It is a different kind of speed from the technological speed to which we are accustomed. It goes on in the depth of our life, whether we notice or not, at three miles an hour. It is the speed we walk and therefore the speed the love of God walks.
~ Kosuke Koyama
Down, down they sped. Above them the earth sealed shut with a shudder
~ Kris Waldherr
Internet is in its infancy. It is at a fundamental level a new canvas for the old human condition, salvation and sin, at digital speed and with viral replication. It is a magnifying glass on every human inclination, beautiful and terrible, trivial and mean, generous and curious. Take note of how this realization puts the power back with us.
~ Krista Tippett
To this day, most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper, although that's the event I had more success in.
~ Carl Lewis
For everything that moves, time passes more slowly.
~ Carlo Rovelli
A moving object therefore experiences a shorter duration than a stationary one: a watch marks fewer seconds, a plant grows more slowly, a young man dreams less. For a moving object, time contracts.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Color is the speed at which Faraday's lines vibrate, and this is determined by the vibrations of the electric charges that emit light. These charges are the electrons that move inside the atoms.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Let's begin with a simple fact: time passes faster in the mountains than it does at sea level.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Ten years before understanding that time is slowed down by mass,21 Einstein had realized that it was slowed down by speed.22 The consequence of this discovery for our basic intuitive perception of time is the most devastating of all.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Proper time" depends not only on where you are and your degree of proximity to masses; it depends also on the speed at which you move. It's a strange enough fact in itself, but its consequences are extraordinary. Hold on tight, because we are about to take
~ Carlo Rovelli
In our everyday life we move at low speeds in relation to the speed of light and so we do not perceive the discrepancies between the different proper times of different clocks, and the differences in speed at which time passes at different distances from a mass are too small for us to distinguish. In the end, therefore, instead of many possible times, we can speak only of a single time: the time of our experience—uniform, universal, and ordered.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Color is the speed at which Faraday's lines vibrate, and this is determined by the vibrations of the electric charges that emit light.
~ Carlo Rovelli
