Famous quotes containing the word climate:
“If often he was wrong and at times absurd,
To us he is no more a person

—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“Ghosts, we hope, may be always with us—that is, never too far out of the reach of fancy. On the whole, it would seem they adapt themselves well, perhaps better than we do, to changing world conditions—they enlarge their domain, shift their hold on our nerves, and, dispossessed of one habitat, set up house in another.

—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“A tree is beautiful, but what’s more, it has a right to life; like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees. Forests create climate, climate influences peoples’ character, and so on and so forth.

—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
