“The real poet studies the world as it is: lovely, terrible, sensible,
grotesque; and would ask for no other in its place. Humor is the final sign and
seal of seriousness for it is a proof that reality is held in honor and in
love.” -- Mark van Doren

“The concept for Speed came to me when I caught
myself rushing around and suddenly realizing that I needed a
skateboard (which I would not know how to ride anyway) to keep up with
my bustling activities and commitments! “ -- C.W. Hurni
