Sea Level Rise

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

    When the fierce north-western blast
    Cools sea and land so far and fast,
    Thou already slumberest deep;
    Woe and want thou canst outsleep;
    Want and woe, which torture us,
    Thy sleep makes ridiculous.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    To punish drug takers is like a drunk striking the bleary face it sees in the mirror. Drugs will not be brought under control until society itself changes, enabling men to use them as primitive man did: welcoming the visions they provided not as fantasies, but as intimations of a different, and important, level of reality.
    Brian Inglis (b. 1916)

    It is an hypothesis that the sun will rise tomorrow: and this means that we do not know whether it will rise.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
