Famous quotes containing the words sea, breeze and/or fronts:
“For half a mile from the shore it was one mass of white breakers, which, with the wind, made such a din that we could hardly hear ourselves speak.... This was the stormiest sea that we witnessed,more tumultuous, my companion affirmed, than the rapids of Niagara, and, of course, on a far greater scale. It was the ocean in a gale, a clear, cold day, with only one sail in sight, which labored much, as if it were anxiously seeking a harbor.... It was the roaring sea, thalassa exeessa.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Ellie: By the way, whats your name?

Ellie: Youve got a name, havent you?
Peter: Yeah, I got a name. Peter Warne.
Ellie: Peter Warne? I dont like it.”
—Robert Riskin (18971955)
“How do you know what the world is like? Do you know the world is a foul sty? Do you know if you rip the fronts off houses youd find swine? The world is a hell. What does it matter what happens in it?”
—Thornton Wilder (18971975)
