Famous quotes containing the words november and/or tornado:
“Not yesterday I learned to know
The love of bare November days
Before the coming of the snow....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
