About This Quote
The first word of this quote is "fog" which refers to a cloud that's not self-conscious enough to go to the ground. The second word, "terra firma" is the Latin word for solid ground. This implies that fog that isn't too proud to drop down can still have a purpose other than being a nuisance.
