Struck Quotes

War, once declared, must be waged offensively, aggressively. The enemy must not be fended off; but smitten down. You may then spare him every exaction, relinquish every gain, but „til then he must be struck incessantly and remorselessly Picture Quote #1

It’s funny how three or four notes of anger can be struck at once, creating the perfect chord of fury Picture Quote #1

I’m cooler than a polar bear’s toenails... bend corners like I was a curve, I struck a nerve Picture Quote #1

It is inescapable that every culture must negotiate with technology, whether it does so intelligently or not. A bargain is struck in which technology giveth and technology taketh away Picture Quote #1

More than anything, one is struck by the light. Light everywhere. Brightness everywhere. Everywhere, the sun Picture Quote #1

The effort of using machines to mimic the human mind has always struck me as rather silly. I would rather use them to mimic something better Picture Quote #1

It had struck me that the world was full of holes, holes which you could fall into, never to be seen again. I couldn’t understand the difference between disappearance and death. Both seemed the same to me, both left holes. Holes in your heart holes in your life Picture Quote #1

Still, wouldn’t you, even if entirely secure in your own sense of direction, be at least curious where others were heading, even as you struck out on your own? Picture Quote #1

As a traveler, I’ve often found that the more a culture differs from my own, the more I am struck by its essential humanity Picture Quote #1

If nobody talks about books, if they are not discussed or somehow contended with, literature ceases to be a conversation, ceases to be dynamic. Most of all, it ceases to be intimate. It degenerates into a monologue or a mutter. An unreviewed book is a struck bell that gives no resonance. Without reviews, literature would be oddly mute in spite of all those words on all those pages of all those books. Reviewing makes of reading a participant sport, not a spectator sport Picture Quote #1

Has it ever struck you... that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going? It’s really all memory... except for each passing moment Picture Quote #1

It struck me that our history is contained in the home we live in, that we are shaped by the ability of these simple structures to resist being defiled Picture Quote #1

Soil erosion is as old as agriculture. It began when the first heavy rain struck the first furrow turned by a crude implement of tillage in the hands or prehistoric man. It has been going on ever since, wherever man’s culture of the earth has bared the soil to rain and wind Picture Quote #1

One night I had an idea while I was at the movies: to photograph the film itself. I tried to imagine photographing an entire feature film with my camera. I could already picture the projection screen making itself visible as a white rectangle. In my imagination, this would appear as a glowing, white rectangle; it would come forward from the projection surface and illuminate the entire theater. This idea struck me as being very interesting, mysterious, and even religious Picture Quote #1

The student of biology is often struck with the feeling that historians, when dealing with the rise and fall of nations, do not generally view the phenomena from a sufficiently high biological standpoint. To me, at least, they seem to attach too much importance to individual rulers and soldiers, and to particular wars, policies, religions, and customs; while at the same time they make little attempt to extract the fundamental causes of national success or failure Picture Quote #1

The idea of determinism combined with complete human responsibility struck me as very hard to reconcile with an idea of justice, let alone mercy Picture Quote #1

Even in my first analysis of a depressive psychosis, I was immediately struck by its structural similarity with obsessional neurosis Picture Quote #1

She worded it a bit strongly, but I do find myself more and more struck by the differences between the sexes. To put it another way: All marriages are mixed marriages Picture Quote #1

And just as music is the space between notes, just as the stars are beautiful because of the space between them, just as the sun strikes raindrops at a certain angle and throws a prism of color across the sky-so the space where I exist, and want to keep existing, and to be quite frank I hope I die in, is exactly this middle distance: where despair struck pure otherness and created something sublime 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

Decorators never quite saw the point of massing books. Books brought colour to a room and filled it up, but shelves bearing just one thing struck them as a decorative display opportunity tragically lost Picture Quote #1

I am struck the whole litany of people, especially of that era, who were involved in some scandal or another. Some of it was sexual. Some of it was more financial. And it was just all concentrated in a lot of people all at once Picture Quote #1

I am struck by the fact that the more slowly trees grow at first, the sounder they are at the core, and I think that the same is true of human beings Picture Quote #1

I am not fitted to give concerts. The audience intimidates me, I feel choked by its breath, paralyzed by its curious glances, struck dumb by all those strange faces Picture Quote #1

Often I am struck in amazement about a word: I suddenly realize that the complete arbitrariness of our language is but a part of the arbitrariness of our own world in general Picture Quote #1

It is written in the code of love: He who strikes the blow is himself struck down Picture Quote #1

And I was incapable of living all by myself in those lodgings where I didn’t know a soul. It terrified me to sit by myself quietly in my room. I felt frightened, as if I might be set upon or struck by someone at any moment Picture Quote #1

It is hard to rationalise or explain why you love what you love. But I have always been interested in science and maths, and in high school I was struck that you could use maths to understand nature and science Picture Quote #1

Praise is a debt we owe unto the virtue of others, and due unto our own from all whom malice hath not made mutes, or envy struck dumb Picture Quote #1

I confess my belief in the common man... The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it... The man who is in the melee knows what blows are being struck and what blood is being drawn Picture Quote #1
