Famous quotes containing the words tropical, storm and/or barry:

    “We’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave.”
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    “I care not what the sailors say:
    All those dreadful thunder-stones,
    All that storm that blots the day
    Can but show that Heaven yawns;
    Great Europa played the fool
    That changed a lover for a bull.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Let’s face it, we became ingrown, clannish, and retarded. Cut off from the mainstream of humanity, we came to believe that pink is “flesh-color”, that mayonnaise is a nutrient, and that Barry Manilow is a musician.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
