Famous quotes containing the words strong and/or earthquake:
“I think that parents ought to get some idea of how the so- called experts have changed their advice over the decades, so that they wont take them deadly seriously, and so that if the parent has the strong feeling, I dont like this advice, the parent wont feel compelled to follow it. . . . So dont worry about trying to do a perfect job. There is no perfect job. There is no one way of raising your children.”
—Benjamin Spock (b. 1903)
“Through the din and desultoriness of noon, even in the most Oriental city, is seen the fresh and primitive and savage nature, in which Scythians and Ethiopians and Indians dwell. What is echo, what are light and shade, day and night, ocean and stars, earthquake and eclipse, there? The works of man are everywhere swallowed up in the immensity of nature. The AEgean Sea is but Lake Huron still to the Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
