Famous quotes containing the word climate:

    “If often he was wrong and at times absurd,
    To us he is no more a person
    Now but a whole climate of opinion.”
    —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. The universal battiness of our century looks like providing them with a propitious climate ...”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “The climate has been described as “ten months winter and two months mighty late in the fall.””
    —Administration in the State of Colo, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
