Disaster Quotes

Many of my contemporaries in the developed world see subsistence farming as soulful and organic, but it is a poverty trap and an environmental disaster Picture Quote #1

If falling into desperation worked to make things better, then I would say, ‘Let’s all jump into despair.’ But it doesn’t help. The only way to truly find meaning and fulfillment is to look at the disaster, the pain, the difficulty, and know with complete certainty that good can come from this Picture Quote #1

Lifeboats are decked out on the sides of a ship waiting for when disaster strikes, faith on the other hand is a part of you for whenever Picture Quote #1

We live in a world of constant juxtaposition between joy that’s possible and pain that’s all too common. We hope for love and success and abundance, but we never quite forget that there is always lurking the possibility of disaster Picture Quote #1

If we remove the hope of profit as a means to alleviate misfortune - poverty, illness, misery, disaster - we shall increase our misfortunes and make them permanent Picture Quote #1

Without the piano, my life would be a disaster - nobody would hold me in any regard. It’s the thing that saved me Picture Quote #1

I’m not really interested in politics, because I think it’s just too removed from my own life. If there’s a war, though, or a disaster, I want to know what’s happening Picture Quote #1

My life is neither a disaster nor supernatural, yet it is an unlikely event Picture Quote #1

Paintings helped to change my life. I’d still be living a life of disaster without it Picture Quote #1

My life hasn’t always been a disaster, it’s just that when it has, it’s been a spectacular disaster Picture Quote #1

For him , life was a coin that had disaster on one side and waiting for disaster on the other Picture Quote #1

A great disaster is a symbol to us to remember all the big things of life and forget the small things, of which we have thought too much Picture Quote #1

I didn’t lead a very wise life, myself, but it was a full one and a grown-up one. You come of age very quickly through shipwreck and disaster Picture Quote #1

Disaster management should be coordinated by the federal government, .. It is our exact responsibility Picture Quote #1

All students of disaster movies know that nothing survives these natural onslaughts except cats and the highest paid film stars Picture Quote #1

Disaster movies do us the psychological service of forcing a quick march through the worst that could happen. At the end we see that you win a few, you lose a few, some cars are up in trees, and only the most attractive of the young people have survived Picture Quote #1

This boy has negative charisma. He walks into a room and the oxygen starts to evaporate. I guess that’s why girls sleep with him. They find his awfulness transfixing. He’s like a lousy 1970’s disaster movie that they can’t bring themselves to turn off, even though it is making their life worse every minute they leave it on Picture Quote #1

This may sound trite, but bad things happen to good people, and when you’re facing terrorism, natural disaster, you can have every wonderful plan in place, but I am a realist Picture Quote #1

We cannot stop natural disasters but we can arm ourselves with knowledge: so many lives wouldn’t have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness Picture Quote #1

The larger the disaster, the more necessary it is to have the government as the principal driver of recovery Picture Quote #1

One of my favorite books is ‘The Swiss Family Robinson.’ The reason is, I’m fascinated by the postapocalyptic recovery. What do we do in a disaster? How do we make do? Picture Quote #1

Cynically but accurately put, Americans oppose public intervention or regulation if it helps others, but favor it if it helps them - take social security, disaster relief, public works projects, for example Picture Quote #1

Who knew, in 2000, that ‘compassionate conservatism’ meant bigger government, unrestricted government spending, government intrusion in personal matters, government ineptitude, and cronyism in disaster relief? Who knew, in 2000, that the only bill the president would veto, six years later, would be one on funding stem-cell research? A more accurate term for Mr. Bush’s political philosophy might be incontinent conservatism Picture Quote #1

My father did a lot of disaster relief work, and he was always in places where there was a lot of pain Picture Quote #1

I’m hoping that maybe I can be part of a disaster relief effort, something that’s real life. That’s kind of what I do anytime I stop working: ‘OK, what’s something that you’ve really wanted to do?’ Picture Quote #1

What we ought not do is play politics with those who’ve been afflicted by disasters. This should not be controversial. Stop playing politics, do the right thing for the country and let’s make sure we’re not making politics with disaster relief Picture Quote #1

It is so basic as to be mundane, but in disaster relief, all the good will in the world can go to hell in a hand basket if the logistics don’t work. In Ethiopia at the best of times, the logistics are difficult. It is a huge country - about the same size as Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma combined. It is also a transportation nightmare Picture Quote #1

The Bush administration got a lot of things horribly wrong in its disaster response to the New Orleans flood, and it deserves almost all of the bitter recriminations hurled its way Picture Quote #1
