Ambrose Bierce
Belladonna, n.: In Italian a beautiful lady; in English a deadly poison. A striking example of the essential identity of the two tongues.
2
John Tyler Bonner
Evolution, cell biology, biochemistry, and developmental biology have made extraordinary progress in the last hundred years - much of it since I was weaned on schoolboy biology in the 1930s. Most striking of all is the sudden eruption of molecular biology starting in the 1950s.
3
Ginny Brown-Waite
While all of these are important and significant events, it is the United States' foreign policy that furthers the advancement of freedoms and rights for women that is the most striking for me.
4
William Cullen Bryant

Jonathan Carroll
Krakow is one of my favorite places on earth. It is a medieval city full of young people. A wonderful, striking combination.
6

7
Francis Crick

8
Oliver Cromwell
Not only strike while the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking.
9
Cameron Crowe
I always wanted to tell the story of how Pearl Jam is the story of lightning striking twice. As well as being the flipside of the classic rock tale where great promise ends in tragedy. This is where tragedy begins great promise.
10
