Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    “I care not what the sailors say:
    All those dreadful thunder-stones,
    All that storm that blots the day
    Can but show that Heaven yawns;
    Great Europa played the fool
    That changed a lover for a bull.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “All the names of good and evil are parables: they do not declare, but only hint. Whoever among you seeks knowledge of them is a fool!”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
