A Quote by Jim Parsons

I was very fascinated with meteorology at a young age. I lived on the Gulf Coast and hurricanes blew through there. That is the class I failed in college: meteorology.

Through meteorology, we know essentially how hurricanes form, even though we can't say where the next storm will arise.

Eric Maskin

Perhaps one day earthquakes, hurricanes and financial crashes will all be predictable. But we don't have to wait until then for seismology, meteorology and economics to become sciences; they already are.

Eric Maskin

I gained a first class degree in Physics at Imperial College London in 1968 and did research in solid state physics, but did not pursue meteorology matters until gaining an M.Sc. in astrophysics from Queen Mary College London in 1981, after which I investigated and attempted to construct theories of solar activity.

Piers Corbyn

People look down on stuff like geography and meteorology, and not only because they're standing on one and being soaked by the other. They don't look quite like real science. But geography is only physics slowed down and with a few trees stuck on it, and meteorology is full of excitingly fashionable chaos and complexity. And summer isn't a time. It's a place as well. Summer is a moving creature and likes to go south for the winter.

Terry Pratchett

When I was going to college, there were probably four colleges in the nation that offered a major in meteorology. I wasn't fortunate enough to be in a part of the country where that was readily accessible. I have been doing weather since I graduated from college. I feel solid about what I'm doing.

Sam Champion

I like science - geography, meteorology, cosmology.

Randy Newman

One thing I learned from meteorology is that being an actual science was no guarantee of exactness.

Kenneth Arrow

The poorest residents of the gulf coast were most affected by the devastating hurricanes, and the poorest Americans have shouldered a disproportionate share of the burden in Iraq.

Marty Meehan

I preferred to use mathematics in some practical fashion and thought that meteorology sounded promising.

Clive Granger

Saturn itself is a giant planet, and there's much to be gained by investigating its meteorology and studying its magnetic field.

Carolyn Porco

I always had becoming a meteorologist as my goal from the second I decided, while I was in school, just to study meteorology.

Ginger Zee

I was married very young. I lived a very middle class life. I was married at age 21, divorced at 31.

John Lithgow

Hurricane [Katrina] hit the Gulf Coast and destroyed much of the Gulf Coast - that was an act of God ... Now what happened to New Orleans, that was a complete failure of the federal government. Complete negligence by the feds.

James Carville

I was married very young. I lived a very middle class life. I was married at age 21, divorced at 31. I didn't sleep on people's couches.

John Lithgow

Meteorology has ever been an apple of contention, as if the violent commotions of the atmosphere induced a sympathetic effect on the minds of those who have attempted to study them.

Joseph Henry

There is a congratulatory culture in the Gulf. From birth onwards, there is a culture of giving people trophies as markers of achievement for making it through society. It's cementing allegiance to authority at a very young age.

Ayshay
