The moment of a miracle is unending lightning.
Dylan Thomas
Image
Enthusiasm is the leaping lightning, not to be measured by the horse-power of the understanding
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Put yourself in the path of lightning.
Valerie Jarrett
Image
The Pilgrim of Eternity, whose fame Over his living head like heaven is bent, An early but enduring monument, Came, veiling all the lightnings of his song In sorrow.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
Your days pass like rainbows, like a flash of lightning, like a star at dawn. Your life is short. How can you quarrel?
Gautama Buddha
Image
Some calamities - the 1929 stock market crash, Pearl Harbor, 9/11 - have come like summer lightning, as bolts from the blue. The looming crisis of America's Ponzi entitlement structure is different. Driven by the demographics of an aging population, its causes, timing and scope are known.
George Will
Image
Pain. I seem to have an affection, a kind of sweettooth for it. Bolts of lightning, little rivulets of thunder. And I the eye of the storm.
Toni Morrison
Image
Never insult a mans beard, you either get thunder or lightning
Si Robertson
Image
In recent years, we have seen technology advance at lightning speed, allowing us to accomplish lifesaving feats never imagined before. It is our responsibility to ensure that these advances are used for positive medical breakthroughs, and not allowed to restrict rights or limit access to health insurance or job opportunities.
Evan Bayh

Vladimir Nabokov
Image
People will complain that they don't want to wait around for lightning to strike, but why not? If you invest yourself in chance, the potential for disappointment is pretty low.
John Darnielle
Image
But it is not given to every electrician to die in so glorious a manner as the justly envied Richmann.
Joseph Priestley
Image
Your body is like a dew-drop on the morning grass, your life is as brief as a flash of lightning. Momentary and vain, it is lost in a moment.
Dogen
Image
It was one of those hot, silent nights, when people sit at windows listening for the thunder which they know will shortly break when they recall dismal tales of hurricanes and earthquakes and of lonely travellers on open plains, and lonely ships at sea, struck by lightning.
Charles Dickens
Image
Lightning streaks like gunfire through the clouds, volleys of thunder shake the air.
Edward Abbey
Image
We sail across dominions barely seen, washed by the swells of time. We plow through fields of magnetism. Past and future come together on thunderheads and our dead hearts live with lightning in the wounds of the Gods.
Norman Mailer
Image
Intelligent Design has been hijacked by a narrow group of creationist fundamentalists in America to mean something it didn't originally mean at all. It's another form of the God of the gaps. It's bad theology in that it turns God once again into the pagan god of thunder and lightning.
Guy Consolmagno
Image
The best lightning rod for your protection is your own spine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
No one color can describe the various and varied complexions in our group. They range from the deep black to the fairest white with all the colors of the rainbow thrown in for good measure. When twenty or thirty of us meet, it is as hard to find three or four with the same complexion as it would be catch greased lightning in a bottle.
Mary Church Terrell
Image
What I'm looking for in my career, you know? You're looking for those lightning bolts of inspiration where someone says something that sparks an idea or suggests something strange.
Drew Goddard
Image
The heavy rain beat down the tender branches of vine and jessamine, and trampled on them in its fury and when the lightning gleamed, it showed the tearful leaves shivering and cowering together at the window, and tapping at it urgently, as if beseeching to be sheltered from the dismal night.
Charles Dickens
Image
I... do... not... do... lightning.
Ridley Pearson
Image
How can they beat me? I've been struck by lightning, had two back operations, and been divorced twice.
Lee Trevino
Image
The lightning-bug is brilliant, but he hasn't any mind He stumbles through existence with his headlight on behind.
