Sea Level Rise

Famous quotes containing the words sea, level and/or rise:

    Until We met the Solid Town—
    No One He seemed to know—
    And bowing—with a Mighty look—
    At me—The Sea withdrew—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    As the tragic writer rids us of what is petty and ignoble in our nature, so also the humorist rids us of what is cautious, calculating, and priggish—about half of our social conscience, indeed. Both of them permit us, in blessed moments of revelation, to soar above the common level of our lives.
    Robertson Davies (b. 1913)

    So long as men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and Napoleons will duly rise and make them miserable.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
