Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    “The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail—its roof may shake—the wind may blow through it—the storm may enter—the rain may enter—but the King of England cannot enter!—all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!”
    —William Pitt, The Elder, Lord Chatham (1708–1778)

    “Almanacked, their names live; they
    Have slipped their names, and stand at ease,
    Or gallop for what must be joy,”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
