“If the Almighty were to rebuild the world and asked me for advice, I would have English Channels round every country. And the atmosphere would be such that anything which attempted to fly would be set on fire.”
Winston Churchill
“We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere; we creep upon the soil; we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds. There can be but one explanation of this fact. We are passing from the animal into a higher form, and the drama of this planet is in its second act.”
W. Winwood Reade
“You get to learn about different cultures-the different parts of the country. The diversity is different. The atmosphere is different. The people are different. You kind of have to change the way you think.”
Chelsea Cowman
“What a splendid thing watercolor is to express atmosphere and distance, so that the figure is surrounded by air and can breathe in it”
Vincent van Gogh
“HURRICANE, n. An atmospheric demonstration once very common but now generally abandoned for the tornado and cyclone. The hurricane is still in popular use in the West Indies and is preferred by certain old-fashioned sea-captains. It is also used in the construction of the upper decks of steamboats, but generally speaking, the hurricane's usefulness has outlasted it.”
Ambrose Bierce
“The sounds I had heard seemed worthy to mingle with this bright and perfumed atmosphere, and to thrill the beautiful scenery around me.”
William Cullen Bryant
