Struck Quotes

Strange indeed is human nature. Here were these men, to whom murder was familiar, who again and again had struck down the father of the family, some man against whom they had no personal feeling, without one thought of compunction or of compassion for his weeping wife or helpless children, and yet the tender or pathetic in music could move them to tears Picture Quote #1

There is a flickering spark in us all which, if struck at just the right age... can light the rest of our lives, elevating our ideals, deepening our tolerance, and sharpening our appetite for knowledge about the rest of the world. Educational and cultural exchanges... provide a perfect opportunity for this precious spark to grow, making us more sensitive and wiser international citizens through our careers Picture Quote #1

And so, when a person meets the half that is his very own, whatever his orientation, whether it’s to young men or not, then something wonderful happens: the two are struck from their senses by love, by a sense of belonging to one another, and by desire, and they don’t want to be separated from one another, not even for a moment Picture Quote #1

I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone, and why a bird sustains itself in the air Picture Quote #1

This bored fantastic woman, with her animal nature, giving herself the pleasure of seeing her enemy struck down, not a particularly keen one for her because she is so weary of having all her desires satisfied 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

We managed to get underway, and I don’t know to this day why we didn’t get struck or take a torpedo, but we didn’t. We got outside of the exit of the harbor and we started dropping depth charges Picture Quote #1

The clock of doom had struck as fated; the poet, without a sound, let fall his pistol on the ground Picture Quote #1

When at length they rose to go to bed, it struck each man as he followed his neighbour upstairs that the one before him walked very crookedly Picture Quote #1

Experience has caused it to be remarked that in the country where the laws are gentle, the minds of the citizens are struck by it, as it is elsewhere by the most severe Picture Quote #1

O the things unseen, untold, undreamt of, which like shadows pass hourly over that mysterious world, a mind to ruin struck by grief! Picture Quote #1

It has always struck me that there is a far greater distinction between man and man than between many men and most other animals Picture Quote #1

Fame is a shuttlecock. If it be struck only at one end of a room it will soon fall to the floor. To keep it up, it must be struck at both ends Picture Quote #1
