Hard Strike

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or strike:

    A pious woman’s neighbor, a philanthropist’s child, a liberal’s servant—these three have a hard life.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    I am often mad, but I would hate to be nothing but mad: and I think I would lose what little value I may have as a writer if I were to refuse, as a matter of principle, to accept the warming rays of the sun, and to report them, whenever, and if ever, they happen to strike me.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
