Famous quotes containing the words ocean, human and/or health:
“your old fashioned tirade—
loving, rapid, merciless—
breaks like the Atlantic Ocean on my head.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“One thing in any case is certain: man is neither the oldest nor the most constant problem that has been posed for human knowledge.”
—Michel Foucault (1926–1984)
“We have two kinds of “conference.” One is that to which the office boy refers when he tells the applicant for a job that Mr. Blevitch is “in conference.” This means that Mr. Blevitch is in good health and reading the paper, but otherwise unoccupied. The other type of “conference” is bona fide in so far as it implies that three or four men are talking together in one room, and don’t want to be disturbed.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
