Fixed Strike

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or strike:

    Genius detects through the fly, through the caterpillar, through the grub, through the egg, the constant individual; through countless individuals the fixed species; through many species the genus; through all genera the steadfast type; through all the kingdoms of organized life the eternal unity. Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.

    O youth the cities have sent
    to strike at each other’s strength,
    it is you who have kept her alight.
