Strikes and boycotting are akin to war, and can be justified only on grounds analogous to those which justify war, viz., intolerable injustice and oppression.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Image
Strikes deeper, grows with more pernicious root.
William Shakespeare
Image
Strikes (1981) are real life. It took up seven weeks of real time. That's a fifth of a pregnancy.
Dan Quisenberry
Image
Strikes always leave a bad taste with everyone.
Sarah Sutton
Image
To say that you now trust the Russian military command and control system because some Russian general told you from the bottom of his heart that's the case, strikes me as most unrealistic.
William Eldridge Odom
Image
Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.
Tony La Russa
Image
I only write when I feel the inspiration. Fortunately, inspiration strikes at 10:00 o'clock every day.
William Faulkner
Image
For such is the fate of parody: it must never fear exaggerating. If it strikes home, it will only prefigure something that others will then do without a smile--and without a blush--in steadfast virile seriousness.
Umberto Eco
Image
Doctrine once sown strikes deep its root, and respect for antiquity influences all men.
William Harvey
Image
Sleeping people are so remote.... Right here, but out of communication. That's what strikes humans as uncanny about sleep. Its utter privacy. The sleeper turns his back on everyone.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
In exploring new and doubtful tracts of speculation, the mind strikes out true and original views as a drop of water hesitates at first what direction it will take, but afterwards follows its own course.
William Hazlitt
Image
As a songwriter and musician, it strikes me that in music, a certain territorial nature when it comes to one's own autonomy around life and art is common and understood.
Vanessa Veselka
Image
Nothing gives such a blow to friendship as the detecting another in an untruth. It strikes at the root of our confidence ever after.
William Hazlitt
Image
A new educational system in which all children born shall have the same advantage of physical, industrial, mental and moral culture, and thus be equally prepared at maturity to enter upon active, responsible and useful lives. . . . In so doing, it strikes a fatal blow at . . . the most demoralizing of all monopolies. . . educational superiority.
Victoria Woodhull
Image
The average GOP presidential vote in these last five elections was 44.5 percent. In the last three, it was 48.1 percent. Give Romney an extra point for voter disillusionment with Obama, and a half-point for being better financed than his predecessors. It still strikes me as a path to narrow defeat.
William Kristol
Image
It always strikes me, and it is very peculiar, that, whenever we see the image of indescribable and unutterable desolation—of loneliness, poverty, and misery, the end and extreme of things—the thought of God comes into one's mind.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Not to be provok'd is best: But if mov'd, never correct till the fume is spent for every stroke our fury strikes, is sure to hit our selves at last.
William Penn
Image
But sir- we are a beginning democracy. If there were not strikes, this would not be a democracy.
Violeta Chamorro
Image
So sweet was ne'er so fatal. I must weep. But they are creul tears. This sorrow's heavenly it strikes where it doth love.
William Shakespeare
Image
I find that when I've seen a certain number of people my mind becomes like an old match box -- the part one strikes on, I mean.
Virginia Woolf
Image
No might nor greatness in mortality Can censure 'scape back- wounding calumny The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue?
William Shakespeare
Image
Hatred strikes me as one of the few signs of life remaining in the world. This is another thing about the world which is upsidedown: all the friendly and likable people seem dead to me only the haters seem alive.
Walker Percy
Image
Writing is such lonely work that I try to keep myself cheered up. If something strikes me as funny in the act of writing, I throw it in just to amuse myself. If I think it's funny I assume a few other people will find it funny, and that seems to me to be a good day's work.
William Zinsser
Image
If mythic violence is lawmaking, divine violence is law-destroying if the former sets boundaries, the latter boundlessly destroys them if mythic violence brings at once guilt and retribution, divine power only expiates if the former threatens, the latter strikes if the former is bloody, the latter is lethal without spilling blood
