They are felt to be inevitable, though the precise way in which they will be brought about is not, of course, foreseen  (Catastrophes Quotes) The military has been tremendously important in the past during catastrophes and in protecting the population. But it shouldn’t become an auxiliary police force  (Catastrophes Quotes) One of the strangest catastrophes that is in any history. A great king, with strong armies and mighty fleets, a great treasure and powerful allies, fell all at once, and his whole strength, like a spider’s web, was... irrecoverably broken at a touch  (Catastrophes Quotes) ... unless we act boldly and quickly to deal with the underlying causes of global warming, our world will undergo a string of terrible catastrophes  (Catastrophes Quotes) The biggest catastrophes that we’ve witnessed rarely come from information that is secret or hidden.

These ideas are the same philosophical concepts that have intrigued mankind throughout history  (Catastrophes Quotes) Geologists have usually had recourse for the explanation of these changes to the supposition of sundry violent and extraordinary catastrophes, cataclysms, or general revolutions having occurred in the physical state of the earth’s surface  (Catastrophes Quotes) We have believing in this innocent feeling of nothing will ever happen to us, because all catastrophes always broad and happening to anyone else  (Catastrophes Quotes) The dramatic sufferings of adults and all the cruel fantasies of those of my own age, who seemed abandoned to their own impulses in the midst of so many catastrophes, appeared to inscribe themselves on the walls around me  (Catastrophes Quotes) If everything moves along and there are no major catastrophes we’re basically headed towards holograms  (Catastrophes Quotes) For life is terribly deficient in form.
