Stroke followed stroke with the velocity of light. The movement of my hand was interrupted only by the act of changing colors. -- Carole Katchen
The Theory of Relativity confers an absolute meaning on a magnitude which in classical theory has only a relative significance: the velocity of light. The velocity of light is to the Theory of Relativity as the elementary quantum of action is to the Quantum Theory: it is its absolute core. -- Max Planck
We shall probably never attain the power of measuring the velocity of nervous action; for we have not the opportunity of comparing its propagation through immense space, as we have in the case of light. -- Johannes Peter Muller
Whenever the work is itself light, it becomes necessary, in order to economize time, to increase the velocity. -- Charles Babbage
