Tropical Storm Force

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

    Oh, you’ll love the sea. There’s something about it. The hot red dawn, the towering sails, the wake on a tropical night. Oh, you’ll love it all. It’s a glorious kind of world. I couldn’t live without it.
    —Charles Larkworthy. Denison Clift. Capt. Benjamin Briggs (Arthur Margetson)

    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)

    Sentiment is the mightiest force in civilization; not sentimentality, but sentiment. Women will bring this into politics. Home, sweet home, is as powerful on the hustings as at the fireside.
    J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
