Quotes about tremors (10 Quotes)


    It has been my habit when I crossed the ocean - and I have been on both the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans many times-when a storm came up, or we appeared to be in danger from ice or any other cause-to watch the captain of the ship. I noted his demeanor, and I thought that by it I could form a correct idea of our danger. He knew, probably better than anyone else about our position and our danger, and therefore I took pleasure in watching him. And so it is in regard to the work of God. . . . It is my privilege to have all the gifts and blessings resting down upon me by virtue of my calling. If I am faithful thereto they will rest upon me. But it is not my privilege to guide the ship. . . . In times of danger, whatever my own feelings may be, . . . I always look . . . to the man whom God has placed to preside over his people.

    It is about a man and woman who meet 15 years after their affair. The girl is now 27, the man 55. I talked to David about my own experiences, though not, I assure you, with young girls. I also suggested he introduce a third character the 12-year-old daughter of the hero's new girlfriend. When she starts to caress him, you can imagine the tremors this creates in the ex-lover. But this is not Lolita nor is it a play about paedophilia it's a play about love.
