Famous quotes containing the words storms, caused, thousand and/or deaths:
“You don’t need to pray to God any more when there are storms in the sky, but you do have to be insured.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“‘Oh the withy, the withy, the bitter withy
That has caused me to smart,
The withy shall be the very first tree
Fort to perish all at the heart.’”
—Unknown. The Bitter Withy (l. 31–34)
“The LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand donkeys.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 42:12.
“There is the guilt all soldiers feel for having broken the taboo against killing, a guilt as old as war itself. Add to this the soldier’s sense of shame for having fought in actions that resulted, indirectly or directly, in the deaths of civilians. Then pile on top of that an attitude of social opprobrium, an attitude that made the fighting man feel personally morally responsible for the war, and you get your proverbial walking time bomb.”
—Philip Caputo (b. 1941)
