Famous quotes containing the words climate and/or change:
“The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Men are but children of a larger growth,
Our appetites as apt to change as theirs,
And full as craving too, and full as vain.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
