A disaster where marble has been substituted for imagination.
Ada Louise Huxtable

John Kasich
AIDS is the biggest challenge, the major disaster facing this country and we would have wished for something more specific and far-reaching.
Mangosuthu Buthelezi
Alas, I emerge from one disaster to fall into a worse.
Pierre Corneille
Americans believe that people should work hard and get ahead on their own, but when disaster strikes and they need help with retirement or disability, Americans as a whole should come to their aid.
Jacob Hacker
Americans rightly asked, if this is the way our government responds to a natural disaster it knew about days in advance, how would it respond to a surprise terrorist attack? How would it respond to an earthquake?

Kurt Masur

Bruce Jackson
France, and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster.
Johnny Depp
Get off your ass and get down here to fix the goddamn biggest disaster in the nation's history.
Ray Nagin
