Famous quotes containing the words strikes and/or king:
“A man of sense, though born without wit, often lives to have wit. His memory treasures up ideas and reflections; he compares them with new occurrences, and strikes out new lights from the collision. The consequence is sometimes bons mots, and sometimes apothegms.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
““The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then queen died of grief” is a plot.”
