Heat Island Effect

Famous quotes containing the words heat, island and/or effect:

    She knows the heat of a luxurious bed.
    Her blush is guiltiness, not modesty.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The shifting islands! who would not be willing that his house should be undermined by such a foe! The inhabitant of an island can tell what currents formed the land which he cultivates; and his earth is still being created or destroyed. There before his door, perchance, still empties the stream which brought down the material of his farm ages before, and is still bringing it down or washing it away,—the graceful, gentle robber!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A readiness to believe ill of others, before we have duly examined it, is the effect of laziness and pride. We are eager to find a culprit, and loath to give ourselves the trouble of examining the crime.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
