Quotes About Explosion

As far as a Latin explosion, I'm sorry, I'm the only Latino who's going to say it, but there is no Latin explosion. I'm sorry. Four or five top box office people do not make it an explosion, and it's disgusting to me that people will perceive it that way.

In 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded and crashed down to Earth less than two minutes after takeoff.

Não ser um peru" começa quando descobrimos a diferença entre estabilidade verdadeira e fabricada.

Mais de 100 mil pessoas morreram e, dez anos mais tarde, o lugar ainda é um caos.

Brilliant people with low self-esteem act against their interests every day.
~ Nathaniel Branden
In a letter to Benjamin Franklin he described how the explosion of the Augusta created a cloud like none other he had ever seen: "a thick smoke rising like a pillar and spreading from the top like a tree." It did not become the symbol of a new and terrible age of destruction for another 168 years, but in the fall of 1777 the skyline of Philadelphia was darkened by the shadow of the mushroom cloud.
~ Nathaniel Philbrick
This time there was no delay between explosion and sound. The ends of her hair singed. Shrapnel shredded the palm leaves around her. She hit the ground, and Faraday dove on top of her to protect her. Another explosion, along with heat that she thought would ignite their flesh Ã¢â'¬Â¦ but then it faded, resolving into twangs of dying metal and the acrid smell of burning insulation. When they looked

When you blow up a major life situation, as I did on two fronts before leaving Richmond, the explosion can leave a hole in your psyche. Nature abhors a vacuum, however, and over time the crater is almost certain to fill in with new wisdom -- or fresh folly. Sometimes it can be a challenge to tell the difference.

~ Carrie Fisher
There is no such thing as self-awareness. Imagine thought retreating into itself to think about itself. It would be easier to imagine a revolver bullet extracting itself from its victim's wound and re-entering the barrel. Yes, it would be easier to imagine the universe's explosion suddenly halting its outflow of energy, so that the galaxies congeal once more, and the millions of light-years of their flight through space are immediately annulled.
~ J.M.G. Le Clézio
