“You guys know what this represents? Maybe it's the calm before the storm. [Reporter: What's the storm? ] Could be the calm, the calm, before the storm. [Reporter: What storm Mr. President? ] We have the world's great military people in this room, I'll tell you that, and we're going to have a great evening. [Reporter: What storm Mr. President? ] You'll find out.”

“There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.”

Willa Cather book The Song of the Lark

Thea, in Part VI, Ch. 7
The Song of the Lark (1915)
Context: I keep my mind on it. That's the whole trick, in so far as stage experience goes; keeping right there every second. If I think of anything else for a flash, I'm gone, done for. But at the same time, one can take things in — with another part of your brain, maybe. It's different from what you get in study, more practical and conclusive. There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm. You learn the delivery of a part only before an audience.
