Famous quotes containing the words lightning and/or strike:

“The Lightning showed a Yellow Beak
And then a livid Claw.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“If magistrates had true justice, and if physicians had the true art of healing, they would have no occasion for square caps; the majesty of these sciences would of itself be venerable enough. But having only imaginary knowledge, they must employ those silly tools that strike the imagination with which they have to deal; and thereby, in fact, they inspire respect.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
