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)

“Talk to me not of blasphemy, man; I’d strike the sun if it insulted me.”
