“to travel faster than a speeding bullet is not much help if you and it are heading straight towards each other”
“The only thing faster than the speed of thought is the speed of forgetfulness. Good thing we have other people to help us remember.”
“You cannot run faster than a bullet”
“Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.”
“Put me on a train with no windows where nighttime lasts forever and a speed-mad engineer with a mechanical heart high balls a coal-black engine through time tunnels like a bullet leaving a gun where the speed of darkness is faster than the speed of light.”
“Sometimes you can see car crashes from a long way off, if the road is straight and both vehicles are heading towards each other in the same lane.”
