Famous quotes containing the word stroke:

    “If thou and nature can so gently part,
    The stroke of death is as a lover’s pinch,
    Which hurts, and is desired.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The five kings count the dead but do not soften
    The crusted wound nor stroke the brow;
    A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven;
    Hands have no tears to flow.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “I should like to suggest that at least on the face of it a stroke by stroke story of a copulation is exactly as absurd as a chew by chew account of the consumption of a chicken’s wing.”
    —William Gass (b. 1924)
