Famous quotes containing the words heat and/or sources:

    We’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave.
    Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    The American grips himself, at the very sources of his consciousness, in a grip of care: and then, to so much of the rest of life, is indifferent. Whereas, the European hasn’t got so much care in him, so he cares much more for life and living.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
