Altitude Wind Power

Famous quotes containing the words altitude, wind and/or power:

    On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its “great intellects.”

    But we have hidden in our hearts the flame out of the eyes
    Of Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.
    —Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)
