Famous quotes containing the words tornado, family and/or destroyed:
“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.

—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
