Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    Those who want to row on the ocean of human knowledge do not get far, and the storm drives those out of their course who set sail.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    The world is never the same as it was.... And that’s as it should be. Every generation has the obligation to make the preceding generation irrelevant. It happens in little ways: no longer knowing the names of bands or even recognizing their sounds of music; no longer implicitly understanding life’s rules: wearing plaid Bermuda shorts to the grocery and not giving it another thought.
    Jim Shahin (20th century)
