Famous quotes containing the words aftermath and/or reaction:
“The aftermath of joy is not usually more joy.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
