Hard Strike

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or strike:

“Grown up, and that is a terribly hard thing to do. It is much easier to skip it and go from one childhood to another.”

“The illimitable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing ocean- tide, on which we and all the universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not: this is forever very literally a miracle; a thing to strike us dumb, for we have no word to speak about it.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
