Quotations for catastrophes

Catastrophes dispose all strong and intelligent men to philosophize. [ Balzac ]

A corrupted and weakened community breaks down in immense catastrophes; the iron harrow of revolutions crushes men like the clods of the field; but, in the blood-stained furrows germinates a new generation, and the soul aggrieved, believes again. [ Guizot ]
