The idea that a game is anything more than a game... You know, there are people who are basically unbalanced who are going to misuse a game and have bad results. If a golfer who insists on playing during a lightning storm gets hit by a stroke of lightning and is killed nobody says, 'There's golfers dying by the droves being hit by lightning!' You can overdo what you really like, and if you're unbalanced you go overboard.

Gary Gygax

To stand against the deep dread-bolted thunder, In the most terrible and nimble stroke Of quick, cross lightning.

William Shakespeare

I stroke it to the East, and I stroke it to the West, and I stroke it to the woman that I love best. I be strokin'.

Clarence Carter

If I've got to have a stroke or a heart attack, I'd rather have a heart attack. I don't think that's the only reason I campaign for the Stroke Association, but a stroke would be a terrible thing.

Ruth Rendell

I jumped at the chance to be a part of Stroke Recovery Canada. I want to help March of Dimes Canada in its efforts to support stroke recovery and improve the quality of life of all Canadian stroke survivors.

Bret Hart

And so, I was not a military test pilot, but as soon as NASA expressed an interest in flying scientists and people who were not military test pilots, that was an epiphany that just came like a stroke of lightning.

Story Musgrave

Mark Twain said, The right word is to the nearly right word as lightning is to the lightning bug. Fill your book with lightning.

Robert Littell

There are two kinds of geniuses. The characteristic of the one is roaring, but the lightning is meagre and rarely strikes; the other kind is characterized by reflection by which it constrains itself or restrains the roaring. But the lightning is all the more intense; with the speed and sureness of lightning it hits the selected particular points - and is fatal.

Soren Kierkegaard

There's two kinds of evil that horror fiction always deals with. One kind is the sort of evil that comes from inside people, like in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The other kind of evil is predestined evil. It falls on you like a stroke of lightning. That's the scary stuff, but, in a way, it's the stuff you don't have to worry about. I gotta worry whether or not I'm getting cavities. I gotta worry about whether cigarettes are giving me cancer. Those are things I can change. Don't give me lightning out of a clear sky. If that hits me I just say, "That's probably the way God meant it to be."

Stephen King

My dad had a stroke. It's one of those life-changing events. It was right around the time I was turning 40. We were doing 'L.A. Law,' and I got this call that my dad was in Rome and had had a stroke. I want to stress that it wasn't a huge stroke, but it was enough to provide a serious wake-up call.

Corbin Bernsen

Stroke followed stroke with the velocity of light. The movement of my hand was interrupted only by the act of changing colors.

Carole Katchen

I used to be afraid of things like strokes, but I've now discovered that the fear of the stroke is worse than the stroke itself.

Ram Dass

I know my sound when i hear it. My stroke is just my stroke.

Michael Bland

The Stroke Association has produced leaflets that set out clearly the health risks associated with stroke that African-Caribbean people face.

Linford Christie

The concentration of all seven behind the stroke should be so strong that you know by feel when that stroke has varied his style or rating without the cox announcing it.
