What makes the vault so spectacular is because it’s a very athletic type of event, where it needs a lot of speed, a lot of explosive action and, of course, great coordination. – Bela Karolyi
In comics the reader is in complete control of the experience. They can read it at their own pace, and if there’s a piece of dialogue that seems to echo something a few pages back, they can flip back and check it out, whereas the audience for a film is being dragged through the experience at the speed of 24 frames per second. – Alan Moore
I had relatives who would go to Japan and bring back random stuff they bought at the airport or whatever – ‘Ultraman’ and ‘Speed Racer,’ stuff like that. – Adrian Tomine
We used to dial; now we speed dial. We used to read; now we speed read. We used to walk; now we speed walk. And of course, we used to date, and now we speed date. And even things that are by their very nature slow – we try and speed them up, too. – Carl Honore
Generally, speed skaters don’t run that much. I’m a little bit of an exception in that I run a lot. – Apolo Ohno
Real success is being totally indulgent about your own trip. You put your blinders on about the garbage and go full speed ahead. – Betsey Johnson
There are certain things I can’t do, certain pitches I can’t hit. You stay away from them. You try to wait for pitches you can hit. The bat speed isn’t what it used to be. You make up for it by using your head, working counts, getting ahead in counts and getting pitches to hit and hitting them hard. – Chili Davis
I don’t even know if you can blink in a hundredth of a second, and that’s what it comes down to in speed skating. – Brittany Bowe
My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him. – Allyson Felix
I clipped a Ferrari, hit the gravel trap at a fair old speed, which lifted the car up into the barrier, and then rolled a few times. I had no injuries or anything – I just had to wait for the marshals to right the car before I could get out. – Allan McNish
To shoot a gun proficiently, including speed shooting, is much less of a skill than typing. – Bernhard Goetz
From a building right in front of my windows, I can observe the speed of the sunrises and sunsets. The voices of children playing, laughing, yelling, and crying on the playground crawl up to the eighth floor, where I write. Their voices sound so innocent from a distance. – Andrea Hirata
It’s hard to regulate the speed at which you can achieve something creative and emotional. – Carol Kane
My mantra has always been to have zero regrets in life. Everything I do at one speed, I go all-out. – Apolo Ohno
As more speed afoot was constantly demanded for big league ball, I noticed the many infield bounders which the runner beat to first only by the thinnest fractions of a second. – Bobby Wallace
I think I play center field better than I do anywhere else. I have enough speed and enough reaction to know where the ball goes off the bat. – Bryce Harper
White people get nervous and speed things up. You don’t have to be in a hurry because you ain’t got nothing to gain and you ain’t got nothin’ to lose. And that’s where the groove lies. – Billy Gibbons
It turns out all molecular and biological systems have speeds of the atoms move inside them; the fastest possible speeds are determined by their molecular vibrations, and this speed is about a kilometre per second. – Ahmed Zewail
The pilot looked at his cues of attitude and speed and orientation and so on and responded as he would from the same cues in an airplane, but there was no way it flew the same. The simulators had showed us that. – Alan Shepard
I would like to have a decathlon where all of my throws are really consistent and set the tone. That I’m good all-around, not just a speed and jump guy. – Ashton Eaton
