“Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.”
Bible
“The natural sounds that exist -- ice and rainstorms and earthquakes. And also the sounds of human activity -- the noise of ships of all kinds.”
Billy Spitzer
“We learn geology the morning after the earthquake”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Aspire to be like Mt. Fuji, with such a broad and solid foundation that the strongest earthquake cannot move you, and so tall that the greatest enterprises of common men seem insignificant from your lofty perspective. With your mind as high as Mt Fuji you can see all things clearly. And you can see all the forces that shape events; not just the things happening near to you.”
Miyamoto Musashi
“God speaks to me not through the thunder and the earthquake, nor through the ocean and the stars, but through the Son of Man, and speaks in a language adapted to my imperfect sight and hearing.”
William Lyon Phelps
“Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: / And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”
“We don't suggest that because San Francisco citizens live on top of an earthquake fault that they should be moved, ... The question of whether New Orleans should be rebuilt, one of the great cities of this country, is not really a question in my mind.”
John Breaux
