There is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?
George Byron

Those who survived the San Francisco earthquake said, 'Thank God, I'm still alive.' But, of course, those who died, their lives will never be the same again.
Barbara Boxer

War prosperity is like the prosperity that an earthquake or a plague brings.
Ludwig von Mises

We don't suggest that because San Francisco lies on top of an earthquake fault that it should be moved.
John Breaux

We had our first earthquake over here recently. That was a bizarre feeling. I just became disoriented and I remember my dad freaking out. Nothing broke or anything.
Ashley Scott

Ellen Tauscher

We want a story that starts out with an earthquake and works its way up to a climax.
Samuel Goldwyn

You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.
Jeannette Rankin
