Lightning Strike

Famous quotes containing the words lightning and/or strike:

“‘Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

“This Pardoner hadde heer as yelow as wex,
But smothe it heeng as dooth a strike of flex.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
