Disaster Quotes

Hindsight is 20/20, but the moral of the writing is that when you’re feeling very scared about something and convinced that it could be a massive disaster, that’s exactly the idea that you should do Picture Quote #1

Death releases the energy into air. If a true catastrophe is looming, the disturbance becomes such that a sensitive individual may become highly troubled by it. He may be aware exactly when and where it will occur. He may see an aura around people who are soon to die. Or he may see images of the disaster beforehand Picture Quote #1

Culture is more often a source of conflict than of synergy. Cultural differences are a nuisance at best and often a disaster Picture Quote #1

The explosion of a terrorist’s single nuclear device in a major metropolitan center would trigger an unparalleled humanitarian and environmental disaster. An accidental military launch of multiple warheads could result in a worldwide nuclear holocaust. Medical researchers and military analysts forebode grim consequences Picture Quote #1

We are terrible for each other, and, yes, we are a disaster. But tell me your heart doesn’t race for a hurricane or a burning building. I’d rather die terrified than live forever Picture Quote #1

I tried to play bass in a punk band once, and it was an absolute disaster. I can’t play anything. I don’t know what it is Picture Quote #1

One the one hand, our economists treat human beings as rational actors making choices to maximize their own economic benefit. On the other hand, the same companies that hire those economists also pay for advertising campaigns that use the raw materials of myth and magic to encourage people to act against their own best interests, whether it’s a matter of buying overpriced fizzy sugar water or the much more serious matter of continuing to support the unthinking pursuit of business as usual in the teeth of approaching disaster Picture Quote #1

I’m not a trained chef, so I end up making stuff up. It either turns out brilliant or an absolute disaster. I just go for it Picture Quote #1

Living in an orgy of unrestrained consumption and economic growth accompanied by population expansion that ignores the carrying capacity of local environments will lead to disaster Picture Quote #1

Digital is a disaster. No digital radio has the correct time and they don’t even agree with each other Picture Quote #1

Youth has the resilience to absorb disaster and weave it into the pattern of its life, no mater how anguishing the thorn that penetrates its flesh Picture Quote #1

The big horrible thing isn’t the plane crash or the earthquake or the diagnosis. When those things occur, we act, we know what to do. We live or we die. Hell is what we do in the meantime. It is the ways we starve our souls as we prepare for the future that never comes as planned. The true disaster is living the life in your mind and missing the one in front of you Picture Quote #1

A great part of the disaster of contemporary life lies in the fact that it is organized around feelings. People nearly always act on their feelings, and think it only right. The will is then left at the mercy of circumstances that evoke feelings. Christian spiritual formation today must squarely confront this fact and overcome it Picture Quote #1

The only ultimate disaster that can befall us is to feel ourselves at home on this earth Picture Quote #1

Be seriously involved with growing, with your own development, and never fear. Be the kind of person who is naturally powerful, positive, ingenious, open, to the highest degree. Be the best. No negativity. No weakness. No acquiescence to fear or disaster. No errors of ignorance. No evasion to reality Picture Quote #1

Running into a pole is a drag, but never being allowed to run into a pole is a disaster Picture Quote #1

I have to admit that one of the saddest things I see in ministry is a woman who belittles her husband. Even if he has indeed failed in some way, his wife’s disparaging words compound the disaster exponentially. Her cynicism is utterly emasculating, and many times, incredibly subtle. Like a fine, thin blade, it slices deep, penetrating to the very core of his masculine soul Picture Quote #1

Whenever you think you’re writing what other people want to hear from you, and that it’ll be commercial, you’re doomed to disaster. Writing has to be as truthful and specific as we can make it. The minute we think that we’re reaching more people and pleasing them, we get general. And audiences sense that and turn away, shun us Picture Quote #1

I think the environmental impact of this disaster is likely to have been very, very modest Picture Quote #1

This is probably the biggest environmental disaster we have ever faced in this country. It is certainly the biggest oil spill and we are responding with the biggest environmental response Picture Quote #1

Have you noticed that only in time of illness or disaster or death are people real? Picture Quote #1

Yet there is a dignity in the human spirit which can become most clearly visible in the moment of defeat and disaster Picture Quote #1

To avert disaster, we have not only to teach men to make things but to teach them to have complete moral control over what they make Picture Quote #1

When a friend needs consoling, do not give in to the temptation of telling stories similar to theirs of disaster or bereavement. It is something people often do to show empathy but nothing is more tiresome than other people’s problems when you want to focus on your own. Listening is by far the best form of consolation Picture Quote #1

Civilisation, the orderly world in which we live, is frail. We are skating on thin ice. There is a fear of a collective disaster. Terrorism, genocide, flu, tsunamis Picture Quote #1

Any man who has the brains to think and the nerve to act for the benefit of the people of the country is considered a radical by those who are content with stagnation and willing to endure disaster Picture Quote #1

I would hate now to be married. It does occur to me on occasion that, if I fall and hit my head, there will be no one to make the phone call. But who wants to think about that disaster, I’d prefer not to Picture Quote #1

My junior year, I was in a play at school and five days before opening night, I still didn’t know my lines. Opening night was a disaster. I was so embarrassed. The director made me work backstage for the rest of the performance Picture Quote #1
