• Here is the world, sound as a nut, perfect, not the smallest piece of chaos left, never a stitch nor an end, not a mark of haste, or botching, or second thought; but the theory of the world is a thing of shreds and patches.

• The talk of lovers who have just declared their love is one of life's most sweet delights. Each vies with the other in humility, in amazement at being so valued. The past is searched for the first signs and each one is in haste to declare all that he is so that no part of his being escapes the hallowing touch.

  Iris Murdoch

• There has been something crude and heartless and unfeeling in our haste to suceed and be great. Our thought has been 'Let every man look out for himself, let every generation look out for itself,' while we reared giant machinery which made it impossible that any but those who stood at the levers of control should have a chance to look out for themselves.

  Woodrow Wilson

• No estoy estrictamente loco, pues mi mente es absolutamente normal en los intervalos, e incluso más que antes. Pero durante los ataques es terrible, y entonces pierdo la conciencia de todo. Pero eso me estimula a trabajar y a ser serio, como un minero que siempre está en peligro se apresura en lo que hace.

• Cosas bajas y viles, que no tienen cantidad, El amor puede transponer a la forma y la dignidad. El amor no mira con los ojos, sino con la mente, y por eso es Cupido alado pintado ciego. Ni la mente del Amor tiene gusto de juicio; Alas y no ojos figuran prisa insaciable.

• Every single one of us is a little civilization built on the ruins of any number of preceding civilizations, but with our own variant notions of what is beautiful and what is acceptable - which, I haste to add, we generally do not satisfy and by which we struggle to live.

• The Master Speed No speed of wind or water rushing by but you have speed far greater. You can climb back up a stream of radiance to the sky, and back through history up the stream of time. And you were given this swiftness, not for haste nor chiefly that you may go where you will, but in the rush of everything to waste, that you may have the power of standing still-- off any still or moving thing you say. Two such as you with such a master speed From one another once you are agreed that life is only life forevermore together wing to wing and oar to oar.

• When your dawn theater sounds to clear your sinuses: don't delay. Jump. Those voices may be gone before you hit the shower to align your wits. Speed is everything. The 90-mph dash to your machine is a sure cure for life rampant and death most real. Make haste to live. Oh, God, yes. Live. And write. With great haste.

  Ray Bradbury

• ...so now, Mrs. Ramsay thought, she could return to that dream land, that unreal but fascinating place, the Manning's drawing-room at Marlow twenty years ago; where one moved about without haste or anxiety, for there was no future to worry about. She knew what had happened to them, what to her. It was like reading a good book again, for she knew the end of that story, since it had happened twenty years ago, and life, which shot down even from this dining-room table in cascades, heaven knows where, was sealed up there, and lay, like a lake, placidly between its banks.

• Aunque sople el viento y caiga la lluvia Debemos partir antes del amanecer Por los bosques y las altas montañas Hacia Rivendel, donde aún moran los elfos En los claros bajo la brumosa caída A través del páramo y los yermos cabalgamos deprisa Y no podemos decir qué será de nosotros Con los enemigos detrás de nosotros Temerosos Bajo el cielo será nuestro lecho Hasta que al fin nuestro trabajo se acabe Nuestro viaje terminado, nuestra misión cumplida ¡Debemos partir! Debemos partir. ¡Cabalgamos antes del amanecer!

• But as there is a keeping back, and quietly waiting, and a keeping out of willing or running, and haste, the spirit arises purely and stilly in the heart, and gives perfect evidence and full testimony of itself; so that there needs to be no doubting nor questioning of its motion; for it shows forth itself with full assurance of its own will.
