A Quote by Fanny Burney

Imagination took the reins, and reason, slow-paced, though sure-footed, was unequal to a race with so eccentric and flighty a companion.

I don't think 'Lootera' is slow paced; it's finely paced for its setting and story.

Vikramaditya Motwane

I had a dual goal in my running that was to win and to achieve excellence, so I was never happy with a slow tactical time. If the race were slow I would get in front and pull it up again. I couldn't stand a slow race. A lot of people seem to get screwed up on tactics. There is only one tactic in a race and that is to always be in a position where you can win it.

Herb Elliott

Though 'KK' is an urban film and has more scope for fast-paced numbers, I've made sure that there's a bit of melody in all the songs.

Vidyasagar

I have often been surprised that Mathematics, the quintessence of Truth, should have found admirers so few and so languid. Frequent consideration and minute scrutiny have at length unravelled the cause: viz . that though Reason is feasted, Imagination is starved; whilst Reason is luxuriating in its proper Paradise, Imagination is wearily travelling on a dreary desert.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

A merry companion is as good as a wagon, For you shall be sure to ride though ye go a foot.

John Lyly

The dream of reason produces monsters. Imagination deserted by reason creates impossible, useless thoughts. United with reason, imagination is the mother of all art and the source of all its beauty.

Francisco Goya

I had a lot of funky things as a kid. I had dinosaurs and comic book stuff. I was eccentric; imagination drove my decor. Dinosaurs, for sure, were in there!

Brian Tee

I like an even-keeled, slow-paced job.

Washed Out

She took off her wheel, took off her bell, took off her wig, said, how do I smell? I hot footed it barenaked out the window.

Bob Dylan

The Prydain Companion is more than a quick reference or handy glossary, though it is all of that as well. Instructive, certainly. But, like any good companion, a pleasure to be with over a long period of time.

Lloyd Alexander

Brief and powerless is man's life; on him and all his race the slow, sure doom falls pitiless and dark.

Bertrand Russell

Wisdom makes a slow defense against trouble, though a sure one in the end.

Oliver Goldsmith

Kids are not going to sit and read a slow-paced book. Neither are adults.

Frank Peretti

At worst, is not this an unjust world, full of nothing but beasts of prey, four-footed or two-footed?

Thomas Carlyle

Every man is our brother, and every man’s burden is our own. Where poverty exists, all are poorer. Where hate flourishes, all are corrupted. Where injustice reins, all are unequal.

Whitney M. Young

Building slow destroyers ! One might as well breed slow race horses.

Winston Churchill
