Famous quotes containing the word strikes:
“But he her fears to cease
Sent down the meek-eyed Peace;
She, crowned with olive green, came softly sliding
Down through the turning sphere,
His ready harbinger,
With turtle wing the amorous clouds dividing,
And waving wide her myrtle wand,
She strikes a universal peace through sea and land.”
—John Milton (16081674)
“Pans Syrinx was a girl indeed,
Though now shes turned into a reed;
From that dear reed Pans pipe does come,
A pipe that strikes Apollo dumb;
Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can
So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;”
—John Lyly (15531606)
“Television thrives on unreason, and unreason thrives on television. It strikes at the emotions rather than the intellect.”
