Famous quotes containing the words climate and/or change:
“The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
