Strike

Famous quotes containing the word strike:

    Propaganda is a soft weapon; hold it in your hands too long, and it will move about like a snake, and strike the other way.
    Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)

    And, once more let me tell you, it is indispensable to you that you strike a blow. I am powerless to help this.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    I am often mad, but I would hate to be nothing but mad: and I think I would lose what little value I may have as a writer if I were to refuse, as a matter of principle, to accept the warming rays of the sun, and to report them, whenever, and if ever, they happen to strike me.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
