Lightning Strike

Famous quotes containing the words lightning and/or strike:

“The lightning there is peculiar; it is so convincing! When it strikes a thing, it doesn’t leave enough of that thing behind for you to tell whether—well, you’d think it was something valuable, and a Congressman had been there.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“if thou slip thy troth and do not come at all.
As minutes in the clock do strike so call for death I shall:
To please both thy false heart, and rid myself from woe,
That rather had to die in troth than live forsaken so.”
—Unknown. The Lady Prayeth the Return of Her Lover Abiding on the Seas (l. 19–22)
