Famous quotes containing the word meaning:
“The popularity of disaster movies ... expresses a collective perception of a world threatened by irresistible and unforeseen forces which nevertheless are thwarted at the last moment.

Though those forces are insuperable, chance will come to our aid and we shall emerge victorious.”
