Tropical Storm Force

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

    Physical force has no value, where there is nothing else. Snow in snow-banks, fire in volcanoes and solfataras is cheap. The luxury of ice is in tropical countries, and midsummer days. The luxury of fire is, to have a little on our hearth; and of electricity, not the volleys of the charged cloud, but the manageable stream on the battery-wires. So of spirit, or energy; the rests or remains of it in the civil and moral man, are worth all the cannibals in the Pacific.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    There was never yet such a storm but it was Æolian music to a healthy and innocent ear.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I want to come with you to Aldrean. There’s nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father.
    George Lucas (b. 1944)
