Disastrous Quotations
Disastrous Quotes from:
-
Effect Quotes
At one point I would read nothing that was not by the great American Jews - Saul Bellow, Philip Roth - which had a disastrous effect of making me think I needed to write the next great Jewish American novel. As a ginger-haired child in the West of Ireland, that didn't work out very well, as you can imagine.

American Journalist Quotes
Towards four o'clock, the rebels felt strong enough to take the offensive. A brigade with a battery under Earle managed to strike the Federal right on the flank and rear and throw it into utter confusion, which spread rapidly along the whole front. Now came the disastrous end.
-
Clears Quotes
Lithium prevents my seductive but disastrous highs, diminishes my depressions, clears out the wool and webbing from my disordered thinking, slows me down, gentles me out, keeps me from ruining my career and relationships, keeps me out of a hospital, alive, and makes psychotherapy possible.
-
Conquered Quotes
There is not an example on record of any free state holding a province of the same extent and population without disastrous consequences. The nations conquered and held as a province have, in time, retaliated by destroying the liberty of their conquerors through the corrupting effect of extended patronage and irresponsible power.
-
Became Quotes
Let's be clear -- state employees and other voters in New Hampshire take a huge risk by supporting him. Wesley Clark has a life-long pattern of support for national Republicans whose policies have been disastrous for public employees, and that is a track record that raises huge doubts about what he would do if he ever became President.
-
Consistent Quotes
So far (there has been) no pass through of high energy prices into core inflation. What sticks out most is that the New York state manufacturing survey was spot on with forecasts and not (as) disastrous as some had expected. That is consistent with the view that the economic impact of Katrina will likely be limited and temporary.
-
Bill Quotes
One thing that they all do have in common, though, is the effect that the state has had on it this year. The most recent state ... budget, House Bill 66, had a lot of sweeping tax reform in it and this -- while well-intended, hoping to bring in more business into the state -- has had a disastrous effect on a lot of schools.
-
Avoid Quotes
I am a provocative pessimist and my point of departure is that politicians and decision-makers must be made to give serious consideration to the consequences of development and make a real effort to change the direction of certain trends. In that case, we may be able to avoid a truly disastrous outcome for ourselves.
-
Affecting Quotes
If their economic bottom line is all they care about, then the public and environmental good may need to be realized by affecting biotech's bottom line. Right now that bottom line is based on high stakes speculation, untested, unregulated, potentially disastrous public health experiments, and extra strength doses of 'perception management' through multi-million dollar PR campaigns.
-
Benefit Quotes
NASCAR maintains that its sanctioning process is pro-competitive and has been a great benefit to the industry including fans, sponsors, drivers, teams and tracks. On the other hand, the Kentucky Speedway lawsuit, which is seeking a bid system, would likely provide a short-term financial windfall to NASCAR but would be disastrous to the long-term health of the sport.
-
Ballet Quotes
Melissa Barak, an ex-City Ballet dancer and sometime choreographer, has put together an unspeakably dopey and incompetent mess called 'Call Me Ben,' combining ultra-generic dance, terrible dialogue and disastrous storytelling, about the founding of Las Vegas by the gangster Bugsy Siegel, who insists, violently, on being addressed as 'Ben.'

Affected Quotes
While the United States market is very important to us and we will aggressively pursue it, we are focusing our attention on areas of the world that have already been affected by this deadly disease and their governmental agencies are seeking viable solutions to help the containment of disastrous outbreaks.
-
Both Quotes
Even now, the series is nearly concluded for me, and I don't know who's right because they are both right and they are both wrong. I think if you did pick a side it would be disastrous because both the Iron Man fans and the Cap fans would be out for your blood. So (what) I'm thinking is that they are both having a good argument.
-
Balance Quotes
As the race went on, we just kept fighting, trying to get the (car's) balance right. But we stayed in the top 10 all day. Most of the beginning of the race we stayed in the top five until we got a little behind, and we just never could really get caught up. But we were able to maintain all day. So it wasn't by any means a disastrous day, but with the big picture I would have liked it to be better.
-
Bay Quotes
Speaking as the President's chief of staff, I think you are doing the President an enormous disservice. One, it will leak. Two, it will be politically and diplomatically disastrous when it leaks I think your invasion plan is a dangerous plan even to have on the table in the position of being leaked I would throw it in Tampa Bay and hope the sharks would eat it.
-
Brave Quotes
Despite three rounds of Iraqi elections, 845 brave young Americans died in Iraq in 2005, only 3 fewer than the 848 lost in 2004. Also 30,000 to 100,000 innocent Iraqis have been killed in the wake of the U.S. invasion. George Bush and Dick Cheney are personally responsible for each of those deaths, because they deliberately lied to Congress and the American people to start this disastrous and never-ending war.
-
Along Quotes
It's been a disastrous week and we're just limping along here -- ultimately we're in a profit recession and the question is how long will that linger, which is frustrating the plight of equities. In the bigger picture you have a market that is clearly unhappy, and that stems from the lack of visibility.
-
Contribute Quotes
Stuart was insisting (we contribute songs), which I thought was a pretty disastrous idea. The first couple of records were very self-contained worlds with a style that was all their own. It struck me as being insane to muddle what was so distinctive in the first place. I thought there would be a decline in quality. And I think there was.
-
Adequately Quotes
The failure to adequately respond to the devastation caused by Katrina has had disastrous environmental and health consequences.

Activity Quotes
In an environment providing real-time information to media, any security incident, triggered with malicious intent or not, can have disastrous consequences. For a highly visible event like the Olympic Games, the challenge of IT security is not only to prevent unauthorized people from accessing the systems, but to control the activity of authorized people inside the games' network.
