Eripuit coelo fulmen sceptrumque tyrannis. He snatched the lightning from the sky and the sceptre from tyrants.
Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot, Baron de Laune
Image
And I'll tell you, I've seen the lightning flash. I've heard the thunder roll. I felt sin-breakers dashing, trying to conquer my soul. But I heard the voice of Jesus saying still to fight on. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone. No, never alone. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone.
Martin Luther
Image
Never forget how swiftly this life will be over, like a flash of summer lightning or the wave of a hand. Now that you have the opportunity to practice dharma, do not waste a single moment on anything else.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
Image
Nothing is so beautiful as spring - when weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring the ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Image
Personal experience is the lightning of the soul it transforms the heart in ways that leave the brain behind.
Susan Cheever
Image
Time passes by like lightning. Before you know it you're struck down.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Image
I'm the kind of developer who likes to throw lightning rods around. To make a great program there's got to be at least one person at the center who is breathing life into it. In a ferocious way.
Andy Hertzfeld
Image
I think that Walter De Maria's Lightning Field, Michael Heizer's City, and Charles Ross's work in Star Axis New Mexico , all three will last for a millennium.
Virginia Dwan
Image
The forest has shrunk And fear has expanded, The forests have dwindled, There are less animals now, less courage and less lightning, less beauty and the moon lies bare, deflowered by force and then abandoned.
Visar Zhiti
Image
He bats like a lightning rod.
W. P. Kinsella
Image
I would like to go for a ride with you, have you take me to stand before a river in the dark where hundreds of lightning bugs blink this code in sequence: right here, nowhere else! Right now, never again!
Amy Hempel
Image
His kiss was like white lightning, a flash that spread, and spread again, and stayed.
Henry James
Image
O the joy of my spirit--it is uncaged--it darts like lightning! It is not enough to have this globe or a certain time, I will have thousands of globes and all time.
Walt Whitman
Image
Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll, And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole, Yet 'tis Thy voice, my God, that bids them fly, Thy arm directs those lightnings through the sky. Then let the good Thy mighty name revere, And hardened sinners Thy just vengeance fear.
Walter Scott
Image
Today is the great day of one of the revelations of this world. The interrelationships of these individual realms were illumined as by a flash of lightning they burst unexpected, frightening, and joyous out of the darkness. Never were they so strongly tied together and never so sharply divided.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
I have never made fun of religion. Religion is something I don't even want to mess with, because I am really afraid of the clouds opening up and my being struck by lightning.
Alice Cooper
Image
Venues are all the same, all feel the same, these generic blank spaces. I like artists like Lightning Bolt-bands that go in and kind of change things every time, play on the floor, set up in the middle of the room. They go in and they reinvent the space every time, which I feel is like the kind of thing that should just be happening.
Will Oldham
Image
I have learned to prize the quiet, lightning deed, not the applauding thunder at its heels that men call fame.
Alexander Smith
Image
Stand high long enough and your lightning will come.
William Gibson
Image
Man brings all things to the test of himself, and this is notably true of lightning.
Aldo Leopold
Image
There was a wild light in his eyes. Bring your lightnings, Aes Sedai. I will dance with them.
Robert Jordan
Image
Love is a clash of lightnings
Pablo Neruda
Image
You need not expect to get your book right the first time. Go to work and revamp or rewrite it. God only exhibits his thunder and lightning at intervals, and so they always command attention. These are God's adjectives. You thunder and lightning too much the reader ceases to get under the bed, by and by.
Mark Twain
Image
The reason lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place is that the same place isn't there the second time.
William Tyler
