Cloud Quotes

Some clouds hang over more than the sky.

This page pairs literal clouds, like a city's hazy atmosphere over its rivers, with figurative ones, such as the security challenges that come with cloud computing. Related sky-themed reading continues in Sky.

Quotes by Whitfield Diffie

Quotes by Victoria Coren Mitchell

Infrastructures of power always inhabit the surface of the earth somehow, or the skies above the earth. They're material things, always, and even though the metaphors we use to describe them are often immaterial - for example, we might describe...

Cloud computing is a fact of life.

Quotes by Thomas Hardiman

It would be unthinkable to have a top-ten list of multiple narrative novels that doesn't include David Mitchell. 'Cloud Atlas' is the most obvious choice, but I have opted for Mitchell's slightly lesser known debut, 'Ghostwritten.'

Cloudy Quotes

In the cloud, customers don't want a six-month contract negotiation; that concept is absurd when you can implement a cloud-based suite from beginning to end in a month or a few months.

Quotes by Safra A. Catz

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this Cloud quotes collection about?
It uses "cloud" in several distinct ways, covering cloud computing security, a hazy urban atmosphere over a river city, the mingled scents inside a fragrance counter, and the fog surrounding decisions judged only in hindsight. That range gives the page more variety than a typical weather-themed quotes page. It suits readers interested in both technology and metaphor.
Why do people search for cloud quotes?
The word works equally well as a technology term and as a metaphor for confusion or obscurity, so people search for it across very different kinds of content. It's a flexible word for captions ranging from tech commentary to reflective, atmospheric posts. That dual nature is part of what makes it worth collecting on one page.
What does the cloud computing quote mean?
It acknowledges that cloud computing presents real security challenges, while also expressing confidence that those challenges can be overcome - a balanced, practical view of the technology rather than outright caution or dismissal.
Is there a quote about judging past decisions?
Yes - one argues it's intellectually dishonest to look back with the benefit of all the facts and judge decisions that were made with far less information, or with facts that existed but were hidden within a normal cloud of incomplete data at the time. It's a general statement about fairness in hindsight rather than a comment on any specific decision or person.
Does this collection include a sensory description?
Yes - one notes that it's impossible to identify a single, distinct scent within the chemical cloud found in a perfume department, describing sensory overload rather than any specific fragrance. For related descriptive writing, see our Clouds quotes.

Other lines use cloud as a metaphor for confusion, whether a perfume counter's overwhelming mix of scents or the fog of hindsight used to judge decisions unfairly. Explore Clouds or Cloudy next.
