Hardships in lives, Moran was raised to believe, are like unpleasant weather, which one endures because bad weather will break as inevitably as bad luck will run its course.

J.K. watches a storm rage into the crimson afternoon. The sky is electric. Rain whips her bare arms and legs. Dustbins are hauled into the air, caught on the wind's curve. Bags and pillowcase unpacked for a while, toothbrush, perfume, books, a little pile of yellow feathers, J.K. knows she too is caught in the wind. She is Europe's eerie child, and she is part of the storm." (from "Swallowing Geography" by Deborah Levy)
~ Deborah Levy
After the storm the city lies becalmed. It is a sunny morning, still and cold. Branches litter the streets like broken limbs. People clear away the wreckage. They swarm around like ants whose anthill has been scuffed; how doggedly they rebuild their lives.
~ Deborah Moggach
Tipping her head back, he bracketed her face. "Death and the deuce, but I love you, Billy girl." He kissed her again. She pressed herself against him. Neither noticed the rain, only the storm that brewed inside them.

Les vrais amis sont comme le soleil qui brille dans le milieu de la tempête, à mon avis. Ils égaient et illuminent votre vie, et apportent souvent de bonheur pour vous, tout comme les rayons du soleil créant un magnifique arc en ciel pendant une tempête violente. Parfois vous avez besoin d'une tempête afin de voir et d'apprécier la beauté divine d'un arc en ciel. Merci Beaucoup. - Deo
~ Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate
Only one thing that we can see and hear that is absolutely beautiful, and yet so fearfully frightening at the same time, is the Lightning.
~ Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate
True friends are like the shining Sun in the midst of storm, in my view. They brighten and illuminate your life, and often bring happiness to you, just like the rays of Sun creating a magnificent rainbow during a severe storm. Sometimes you need a storm in order to see and appreciate the divine beauty of a rainbow.
~ Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate

The storm comes on and you toss your cigar, stand there thinking about the invisible border and all the ceaseless hypotheses that amount to some psychotic religion Ã¢â'¬Â¦ and you drink your wine, hell, get the whole bottle, and it's still not doing it, and you still don't want to go inside to face Ã¢â'¬Â¦ anything.
~ Jeff Vandermeer
What kind of intelligence allows a bird to anticipate the arrival of a distant storm? Or find its way to a place it has never been before, though it may be thousands of miles away? Or precisely imitate the complex songs of hundreds of other species? Or hide tens of thousands of seeds over hundreds of square miles and remember where it put them six months later? (I would flunk these sorts of intelligence tests as readily as birds might fail mine.)
~ Jennifer Ackerman
There are those who believe that fear is an enemy, one that must be avoided at all costs. They run at its first stirrings.

It will help you if you let it. Isabelle understood this. She listened to her fear and let it guide her

~ Émile Zola
Spellbound The night is darkening round me, The wild winds coldly blow; But a tyrant spell has bound me And I cannot, cannot go. The giant trees are bending Their bare boughs weighed with snow. And the storm is fast descending, And yet I cannot go. Clouds beyond clouds above me, Wastes beyond wastes below; But nothing drear can move me; I will not, cannot go.
~ Emily Bronte
The giant trees are bending. Their bear boughs weighed with snow; The storm is fast descending, And yet I cannot go.
