Lucky Strike Bar

Famous quotes containing the words lucky, strike and/or bar:

    Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident—the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.
    Edward C. Banfield (b. 1916)

    Could beauty be beaten out,
    O youth the cities have sent
    to strike at each other’s strength,
    it is you who have kept her alight.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Think ... before the words—the vows are spoken, which put yet another terrible bar between us.... I call upon you in the name of God ... to be sincere with me—Can you, my Annie, bear to think I am another’s?
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
