A Quote by Lola Ridge

Better--while life is quick And every pain immense and joy supreme, And all I have and am Flames upward to the dream ... Than like a taper forgotten in the dawn, Burning out the quick.

In photography, you've got to be quick, quick, quick, quick...Like an animal and a prey.

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Children are very quick observers; very quick in seeing through some kinds of hypocrisy, very quick in finding out what you really think and feel, very quick in adopting all your ways and opinions. You will often discover that, as the father is, so is the son.

J. C. Ryle

Better to know the quick pain of truth than the ongoing pain of a long-held false hope.

Trudi Canavan

Football is business. It's all about being quick, quick, quick - nobody has any patience nowadays. But then again, that is how things are in normal life, away from football.

Jupp Heynckes

The trouble with quick and dirty is that dirty remains long after quick has been forgotten.

Steve McConnell

Kids, they are always hurting themselves. It's like, "Quick, get me to casualty quick!" while your doing something important like sitting down picking your ear.

Dylan Moran

Happy wife, happy life. I think every man learns that quick. Really quick.

Chad Kroeger

To husband out life's taper at the close, And keep the flames from wasting by repose.

Oliver Goldsmith

Each person shines with his or her own light. No two flames are alike. There are big flames and little flames, flames of every color. Some people’s flames are so still they don’t even flicker in the wind, while others have wild flames that fill the air with sparks. Some foolish flames neither burn nor shed light, but others blaze with life so fiercely that you can’t look at them without blinking, and if you approach you shine in the fire.

Eduardo Galeano

As a matter of fact, I am an uncle. I have nine nephews and nieces. I'm not sure if they think I'm all that quick with a quip. But I'm quick with a spank.

Dean Norris

If quick, I survive. If not quick, I am lost. This is death.

Sun Tzu

Killing is decreed by law but nature loves eternal youth. Whatever she does, however unconscious and unfeeling the act, she seems to cry out: 'Quick! Quick! Quick!' And the more she destroys, the more she is renewed.

Guy de Maupassant

I lived on being a quick player and my hamstring was breaking every time I made a quick move. I wondered what the hell was going on.

Freddie Ljungberg

Most men have a deadness in them that frightens me so because of my own deadness. Why can't men get their life straight, like St.Mawr, and then think? Why can't they think quick, mother: quick as a woman: only farther than we do?

D. H. Lawrence

I thrive on quick players getting to the byline and sending over crosses. I just have to be quick enough to get on the end of things. In that regard, my job has always been the same, but if we have more wide, quick players, that can only be good for me.
