Here are the quotes with the word lightning in them. The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box. — Henri Cartier Bresson Thunder is good, thunder is impressive but it is lightning that does the work. — Mark Twain It is like writing history with lightning and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true. — Woodrow Wilson Nothing is so beautiful as spring - when weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring the ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing. — Gerard Manley Hopkins
