Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    Many Americans imagine simpler times even as a storm of social change swirls about, blowing parents here and children there. Sure, the 1950s ideal world would be wonderful. But knock on the nation’s doors: Ozzie and Harriet are seldom at home.
    Leslie Dreyfous (20th century)

    All the names of good and evil are parables: they do not declare, but only hint. Whoever among you seeks knowledge of them is a fool!
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
