Having kids is something you can't always do. Kids are like lightning. You grab that lightning when you can get it.
John Travolta
Image
I'm a living sunset, lightning in my bones.
Ben Harper
Image
It is not the roaring thunder that smites, but the silent lightning.
Ivan Panin
Image
Who sings of all of Love's eternity Who shines so bright In all the songs of Love's unending spells? Holy lightning strikes all that's evil Teaching us to love for goodness sake. Hear the music of Love Eternal Teaching us to reach for goodness sake.
Jon Anderson

...wrote Lawrence Block. Someone once told me that fear and courage are like lightning and thunder they both start out at the same time, but the fear travels faster and arrives sooner. If we just wait a moment, the requisite courage will be along shortly. (quoted from Write for Your Live by Lawrence Block)
Ralph Keyes
Image
When angels visit earth, the messengers Of God's decree, they come as lightning, wind: Before the throne, they all are living fire.
Emma Lazarus
Image
Each year terrorist attacks kill far fewer Americans than do auto accidents, drug overdoses, or even lightning strikes. Yet in the allocation of government resources, preventing terrorist attacks takes precedence over preventing all three of the others combined. Why is that?
Andrew Bacevich

And when I breathed, my breath was lightning.
Black Elk

Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process they come out of the work itself.
Chuck Close
Image
Many injuries and deaths can be prevented through an understanding of the dangers of power lines, electrical appliances, extension cords, and lightning.
Richard Neal
Image
Those orators who give us much noise and many words, but little argument and less wit, and who are the loudest when least lucid, should take a lesson from the great volume of nature she often gives us the lightning without the thunder, but never the thunder without the lightning.
Elihu Burritt
Image
She was the storm, she was the lightning, she was the adult world with all its power and all its secrets and all its foolish casual cruelty.
Neil Gaiman
Image
As long as I'm alive, you'll never see the last of Lightning!
Motomu Toriyama
Image
I'm wondering if there's a spell to make lightning flash in the background whenever I make an ominous resolution.
Eliezer Yudkowsky
Image
To see him act is like reading Shakespeare by flashes of lightning.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Donald Trump is a catalyst. People care now in a way they didn't. The American institutions were rusting now they are being revitalised. Trump is a lightning rod. They are getting engaged and the American liberal media that spent too much time on PC issues can focus on Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Garry Kasparov

One always imagines that the days that change one’s life must be marked with something extraordinary in nature—storms and lightning, darkness at noon, and so on. In truth they are indistinguishable from any other, which is one reason we feel mocked, as if the world is telling us we are inconsequential.
Margaret George
Image
I have been much amused at ye singular phenomena resulting from bringing of a needle into contact with a piece of amber or resin fricated on silke clothe. Ye flame putteth me in mind of sheet lightning on a small-how very small-scale.
Isaac Newton
Image
[His mind] was like a volcano, full of fire and wealth, sometimes calm, often dazzling and playful, but ever threatening. It ran swift as the lightning from one subject to another, and occasionally burst forth in passionate throes of intellect, nearly allied to madness.
Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of Blessington
Image
Rumors are like lightning on summer tinder, producing flames that dance in flickering brilliance from person to person, sometimes flaring in great conflagrations of exaggeration before finally extinguishing themselves in the cold waters of fact.
Stephen Leigh
Image
God is in the water of the lake he is also in the cracked bed of the lake when the lake has dried up. God is in the abundant harvest he is also in the famine that occurs when the harvest fails. God is in the lightning he is also in the darkness when the lightning has faded.
Mansur Al-Hallaj
Image
Love is a war of lightning, and two bodies ruined by a single sweetness. Kiss by kiss I cover your tiny infinity, your margins, your rivers, your diminutive villages, and a genital fire, transformed by delight, slips through the narrow channels of blood to precipitate a nocturnal carnation, to be, and be nothing but light in the dark.
Pablo Neruda
Image
We look at the ancient Greeks with their gods on a mountain top throwing lightning bolts and say, 'Those ancient Greeks. They were so silly. So primitive and naive. Not like our religions. We have burning bushes talking to people and guys walking on water. We're ...sophisticated.'
Paul Provenza
Image
You just pray that something is going to hit you like lightning. Like a movie, a book, or a photograph, a painting, something that you can riff on it and learn more about it and explore it, and just go on a journey with it. So lots of times when I choose a theme, I'll also incorporate other things that I'm doing at that period.
