Struck Quotes

I remember Simon O’Donnell being struck with cancer during Australia’s 1987 World Cup campaign. I know very well what it is like to have a teammate who has been struck with a potentially fatal disease. He fought through: managed to get himself back to 100% fitness and back to playing again Picture Quote #1

One of the things that struck me about the 1870s, which we still haven’t nearly addressed, is what to do about the male-female divide. One of the forbidden topics is when men own up to the omnivorousness of their sexual interest and how to square that with being in love with an individual woman Picture Quote #1

I didn’t go Hollywood on the outside with flashy cars, upstairs maids and mink-covered bathroom fixtures. I went Hollywood on the inside, and that’s worst of all. I tried to avoid being natural. I lowered my voice. I copied the mannerisms of other stars. I struck poses Picture Quote #1

I have never been sorry to see my sets being struck, provided they are well photographed. They’re not works of art but part of making a film Picture Quote #1

I remember seeing this image of these women wearing these bright clothes and patterns, and it struck me. I remember taking note and going, like, What is that? Who is that? and finding out it was Gucci and being surprised Picture Quote #1

The big things in the average person’s life are the romances that they have - and then the destruction and loss of them. Parents, siblings, children, the death of parents, family tension... these are monumental things. They struck me as being interesting to write about. I didn’t have a very exotic life, but all this stuff happened to me Picture Quote #1

These death sentences are cruel and unusual in the same way that being struck by lightning is cruel and unusual Picture Quote #1

I was still ringing. I had been my whole life a bell, and never knew it until at that moment I was lifted and struck Picture Quote #1

Religion triggers a lot of emotions in me, most of which stem from being raised Jewish in a very Baptist community in the South. I didn’t believe any of it from an early age - the clubby quality of whatever religion or church you belonged to, Judaism included. It just struck me as foolish Picture Quote #1

The thing that really struck me was how many firms that we think of as strictly civilian had ties to the Pentagon. Companies like Apple, Starbucks, Oakley the sunglasses manufacturer. Even Google, and a lot of big corporations like PepsiCo, Colgate-Palmolive, and Nestle, that you don’t normally think of as defense contractors Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been so star struck in my life as when I met President Obama and Bill Clinton... and at the same time, no less! I’m not one to be at a loss for words, and that was a moment when I really was speechless. It was a big, big night Picture Quote #1

I think I’d be pretty star struck over John Mayer. I’m a big fan of his music, and I think he’s great Picture Quote #1

She had never known that ice could take on so many shades of blue: sharp lines of indigo like the deepest sea, aquamarine shadows, even the glint of blue-green where the sun struck just so Picture Quote #1

He was struck dumb by her brilliant blue eyes. Eyes that could drag a man out of the darkest hole and into the light Picture Quote #1

Japan, Germany, and India seem to me to have serious writers, readers, and book buyers, but the Netherlands has struck me as the most robust literary culture in the world Picture Quote #1

The first comic I can remember ever reading was a ‘Fantastic Four’ issue that my dad bought out of the drugstore once. The thing that struck me about it was that the ending wasn’t an ending. It was essentially a cliffhanger. It was the first time I had ever read anything like that, where you read a book, but the book isn’t the book Picture Quote #1

Comandante Fidel Castro is a gifted communicator. He is a brilliant, brilliant mind. But the thing that struck me most about him was he was not a nationalist Picture Quote #1

I broke my heart in two So hard I struck. What matter? for I know That out of rock, Out of a desolate source, Love leaps upon its course Picture Quote #1

When I was 10 or 11, I was on this TV series called ‘Dead Man’s Gun’ and Henry Winkler was a guest star. He hung out with me and my brother the whole time. We had no idea who he was. Our parents were star struck Picture Quote #1

Women in pro-ams are always telling me about all the business deals they’ve struck on the golf course playing with their male work colleagues Picture Quote #1

I designed collections around whatever struck my fancy... fruits, vegetables, politics, or peacocks! I entered in with no business sense Picture Quote #1

It struck me that most businesses have less than 100 employees, but most payroll services were going after bigger companies Picture Quote #1

While that wasn’t first and foremost in my mind, you can’t get into this without being struck, on one side, by how far we’ve come, and then the other side, by how little things have changed Picture Quote #1

Since I came at ‘Godot’ from a God-based frame of mind, it didn’t strike me as absurdist. It struck me as characters waiting for proof of God’s existence Picture Quote #1

My aunt is the director of the acapella group Black Voices. I was so struck by them as a child. They sang with such passion and conviction. By the time I turned 15, I had plucked up the courage to ask if I could join the group. Acapella is a different discipline from singing with an accompaniment - it is much more exposed Picture Quote #1

The ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ have been favourites of mine since my childhood when I misread ‘Aslan’ as ‘Alsatian’ and was struck by the genius of naming a lion after a dog! Picture Quote #1

I met Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I’m not really star struck by actors, but musicians, that’s when I get star struck. Chad Smith is my number one drum influence, so that was a real mind-blow. I spoke to him - proper English, thank God! Picture Quote #1

I did once seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek - I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man Picture Quote #1
