Ashore Quotations

July 2. A beautiful day for Labrador. Went ashore and killed nothing, but was pleased with what I saw. The country is so grandly wild and desolate that I am charmed by its wonderful dreariness.

The Clinton administration launched an attack on people in Texas because those people were religious nuts with guns. Hell, this country was founded by religious nuts with guns. Who does Bill Clinton think stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock?

I've often fantasized about visiting the Bahamian beach where Columbus first stumbled ashore in 1492. Sadly, no one knows where that beach is. In fact, no one's even sure which island Columbus first encountered (there are three candidates). It's a pity, a disappointment, and a lost revenue source for the Bahamians.

There is a little 6-year-old boy who survived one of the most traumatic events that any child could experience -- to lose his mother there in the Gulf Stream, to float for as long as he did, and live to come ashore under the circumstances that he did. We've just got to think about that little boy,

Of course there are all the negative reviews, which also are incredibly important. Hilton Kramer hated the work, and if he had loved it I would have wanted to commit suicide. I still remember to this day that he called me a lunatic and he said the work is the kind of trash that washed ashore when the tide of pop art went out... and I thought, Gee, if he doesn't like what I'm doing, then I must be on the right track.

My father was one of the first six guys ashore on Iwo Jima. He's 86 years old now, and every single night of his life, he has nightmares, and he wakes yelling.

If this child had come ashore in Mississippi, he would have had his asylum hearing by now.

I was a little concerned that somebody we consider a pillar on our team wasn't ready when the bell rang. It was one of those, 'All ashore that's going ashore,' and she wasn't ready to go.

I remember when my brother Dan and I first met him when he stepped ashore as he returned from his 28,000-mile 'Ultimate Canoe Challenge' through North America. It was near Thompson's Field in Portland. That seems like a perfect place for the memorial.

I was trying to really get into the mind-frame of what was going on. They're wet, they're cold, they're coming ashore and there's no beer for miles.

The Aegis Ashore sites in Poland and Romania are designed to counter long-range ballistic missiles that may be launched from other nations, outside of the Euro-Atlantic area, against our European NATO partners.

That would mean using a lot of electricity to pump sea water ashore and round the tank system. That would probably contribute to global warming. The fish would not strictly speaking be in its natural environment, because it would not be in the open sea. People want to produce food cheaply and this would simply increase costs by a huge amount.

We had one make a direct strike, in 1821. We believe, by all records, it was a Category 3, with 112 mph sustained winds. It looks like it came ashore in Cape May, essentially following the current path of the Garden State Parkway. It devastated the state and Philadelphia.

The prospects for a coherent, hilarious and consistent American comedy seem to lessen every year, as the poor waterlogged, gassy corpse called 'Evan Almighty' proved when it floated ashore recently. So there's a temptation to think too highly of Robin Williams's uneven but occasionally funny 'License to Wed.'

Every door opened others. The records show some interesting encounters with a very complicated community on the ship with a complicated community ashore

A major hurricane - a Category 3, 4 or 5 - can't come ashore anywhere in the United States without causing a major disaster,

It's very rewarding. The hope was that the things we were seeing take place in the U.S. and Europe would come ashore in Japan, and it's gratifying to finally see it take place.

It was just plain good luck for the Biloxi and New Orleans areas, ... It meant that Katrina definitely came ashore much weaker than many had feared and many of us were forecasting.

If it came ashore with the intensity it has now and went to the New Orleans area, it would be the strongest we've had in recorded history there,

The industry weathered Katrina, but if Rita comes ashore as a Category 4 or 5 storm, it would cast doubt on the solvency of some insurance companies and deplete the surplus capital for others.
