Tropical Storm Force

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

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

    I know my lazy, leaden twang
    Is like the reason in a storm;
    And yet it brings the storm to bear.
    I twang it out and leave it there.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The difference between a photograph and even the most realistic painting—say, one of Courbet’s landscapes—is that in the latter there has been selection, emphasis and some discreet distortion. The painter’s deep instinctive feeling for mass and force has rearranged everything.
    Gerald Branan (1894–1987)
