Final Strike

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or strike:

    The final test of a novel will be our affection for it, as it is the test of our friends, and of anything else which we cannot define.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    There is a certain class of unbelievers who sometimes ask me such questions as, if I think that I can live on vegetable food alone; and to strike at the root of the matter at once,—for the root is faith,—I am accustomed to answer such, that I can live on board nails. If they cannot understand that, they cannot understand much that I have to say.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
