The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

— You think I'm driving that fast. For the fun of it? I was going to the hospital. I'm working for him. He's having a stroke! The more we wait, the worse it gets. He can't move, he can't do anything. That's why I'm here.

"Have you ever watched the jet cars racing on the boulevards down that way?" <...>
"I sometimes think drivers don't know what grass is, or flowers, because they never see them slowly," she said. "If you showed a driver a green blur, Oh yes! he'd say, that's grass! A pink blur? That's a rosegarden! White blurs are houses. Brown blurs are cows. My uncle drove slowly on a highway once. He drove forty miles an hour and they jailed him for two days. Isn't that funny, and sad, too?"

Live fast. Live free.

I feel the need... the need for speed!

Meaningful Quotes

Headlong down the highway and you're rushing,
Headlong out of control.
And you think you're so strong,
But there ain't no stopping and you can't stop rockin',
And there's nothin' you can, nothin' you can,
Nothin' you can do about it.
