Surface Weather

Famous quotes containing the words surface and/or weather:

    We say justly that the weak person is flat, for, like all flat substances, he does not stand in the direction of his strength, that is, on his edge, but affords a convenient surface to put upon. He slides all the way through life.... But the brave man is a perfect sphere, which cannot fall on its flat side and is equally strong every way.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    This is the weather the shepherd shuns,
    And so do I;
    When beeches drip in browns and duns,
    And thresh, and ply;
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
