In art there are only fast or slow developments. Essentially it is a matter of evolution, not revolution.

Cultural evolution is Lamarckian and very fast, whereas biological evolution is Darwinian and usually very slow.

 
E. O. Wilson
 

How slow the Shadow creeps: but when 'tis past,
How fast the Shadows fall. How fast! How fast!

 
Hilaire Belloc
 

Taoist philosophy ... is essentially monistic. ... Matter and energy, Yang and Yin, heaven and earth, are conceived of as essentially one or as two coexistent poles of one indivisible whole.

 
Bruce Lee
 

Evolution throws a wonderful light on all the struggles, eccentricities, tortuous developments of the human conscience in the past. It is the only theory of morals that does. And evolution throws just as much light on the ethical and social struggle today; and it is the only theory that does. What a strange age ours is from the religious point of view! What a hopeless age from the philosopher's point of view! Yet it is a very good age, the best that ever was. No evolutionist is a pessimist.

 
Joseph McCabe
 

Restraint can be tough. I've made a point to learn how to make a slow song have as much impact as a fast song. That's a challenge I've given myself, because it's easy to just get out there and blast through a bunch of things and feel as though you're exciting the audience. If you can do that with a slow song, then you really have some variety and some range.
