«The popularity of disaster movies expresses a collective perception of a world threatened by irresistible and unforeseen forces which nevertheless are thwarted at the last moment.

Though those forces are insuperable, chance will come to our aid and we shall emerge victorious.»

«They (the days) come and go like muffled and veiled figures sent from a distant friendly party; but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away»
«Publicity in women is detestable. Anonymity runs in their blood. The desire to be veiled still possesses them.
