Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    Why now, blow wind, swell billow, and swim bark!
    The storm is up, and all is on the hazard.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    We rarely quote nowadays to appeal to authority ... though we quote sometimes to display our sapience and erudition. Some authors we quote against. Some we quote not at all, offering them our scrupulous avoidance, and so make them part of our “white mythology.” Other authors we constantly invoke, chanting their names in cerebral rituals of propitiation or ancestor worship.
    Ihab Hassan (b. 1925)
