Lightning Strike

Famous quotes containing the words lightning and/or strike:

    “O, better that her shattered hulk
    Should sink beneath the wave;
    Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
    And there should be her grave;
    Nail to the mast her holy flag,
    Set every threadbare sail,
    And give her to the god of storms,
    The lightning and the gale!”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    “... strike the words “white male” from all your constitutions, and then, with fair sailing, let us sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish together.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
