Notable quotes

“Have you ever been hit by lightning? It hurts. It doesn't happen to everyone. It's an electrical charge. It finds its way across the universe... and it lands in your body, and your head!”
— Paul Thomas Anderson, in Magnolia (1989)
“Did you know that I was struck by lightning seven times?”
— Mr. Daws, oft-repeated question in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
“The thunderstorm is a constant phenomenon, raging alternately over some part of the world or the other. Can a single man or creature escape death if all that charge of lightning strikes the earth?”
— Kalki Krishnamurthy, in "Sivakozhundu of Tiruvazhundur" as translated in Kalki : Selected Stories (1999)
“He seized the lightning from Heaven and the scepter from the Tyrants.”
— Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, Baron de Laune, on Benjamin Franklin, as quoted in The Monthly Anthology, and Boston Review, Vol. X (March 1811)
“When a thunderstorm comes up, I can feel it inside. When lightning comes down, I can feel it wanting to come to me. Grandma said it was God. She said the white fire was God.”
— Victor Salva, in Powder (1993)
“Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does all the work.”
— Mark Twain, as quoted in Living Like Benjamin : Making Dreams Come True (2007) by Brad Borden, p. 123
