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)

    “A name? Oh, Jesus Christ. Ah, God, I’ve been called by a million names all my life. I don’t want a name. I’m better off with a grunt or a groan for a name.”
    —Bernardo Bertolucci (b. 1940)
