Hard Strike

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or strike:

    It is hard living down the tempers we are born with. We
    all begin well, for in our youth there is nothing we
    are more intolerant of than our own sins writ large in
    others and we fight them fiercely in ourselves; but we
    grow old and we see that these our sins are of all sins
    the really harmless ones to own, nay that they give a
    charm to any character, and so our struggle with them
    dies away.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my fingers upon thee!
    Quentin Tarantino, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Roger Avary. Jules (Samuel Jackson)
