Famous quotes containing the words stroke, single and/or cylinder:

    I believe that Harmon would be the easiest to defeat, though he might gain much strength from the Republicans. Clark would surely lose New York. I am beginning to feel that by some stroke of genius they may name Woodrow Wilson, and that seems a pretty hard tussle.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    Mad about the boy,
    I know it’s stupid to be mad about the boy,
    I’m so ashamed of it
    But must admit
    The sleepless nights I’ve had about the boy.
    On the Silver Screen
    He melts my foolish heart in every single scene.
    Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    The outline of the city became frantic in its effort to explain something that defied meaning. Power seemed to have outgrown its servitude and to have asserted its freedom. The cylinder had exploded, and thrown great masses of stone and steam against the sky.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
