Lightning never strikes twice in the same place--it doesn't have to.

Harry Hershfield

They say that lightning never strikes in the same place twice, but the same is not true for courage. As it turns out, when courage strikes, it almost always begets more courage.

Kathi Appelt

The reason lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place is that the same place isn't there the second time.

William Tyler

Lightning does not often strike twice in the same place.

Daniel Boone

I thought lightning wasn't supposed to strike in the same place twice....sure it does...but only if you're too dumb to move.

Jodi Picoult

We all know the dangers of sequels. Lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place too often, and I think you've got to move beyond it, go the extra mile and have the courage not to just repeat the first one.

Colin Firth

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

I never know what I'm going to talk about until I get on stage. I never give the same lecture twice, which is why I'll have people follow me from place to place like Deadheads.

Harlan Ellison

When the lightning strikes one of us, it strikes both

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Love comes like lightning, and disappears the same way. If you are lucky, it strikes you right. If not, you'll spend your life yearning for a man you can't have.

Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

The Liberals are the flying saucers of politics. No one can make head nor tail of them and they never are seen twice in the same place.

John G. Diefenbaker

Love leaped out in front of us like a murderer in an alley leaping out of nowhere, and struck us both at once. As lightning strikes, as a Finnish knife strikes! She, by the way, insisted afterwards that it wasn't so, that we had, of course, loved each other for a long, long time, without knowing each other, never having seen each other.
