Famous quotes containing the words lightning, protection and/or systems:
“How oft when men are at the point of death
Have they been merry! which their keepers call
A lightning before death: O, how may I
Call this a lightning? O my love! my wife!
Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“In all systems of theology the devil figures as a male person.... Yes, it is women who keep the church going.”
