Famous quotes containing the words ultimate and/or tornado:
“The ultimate umpire of all things in life is—Fact.”
—Agnes C. Laut (1871–1936)
“The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
