Accident Quotes (page 11)

Mostly you meet friends when traveling by accident, like by sitting next to them on the train, or in a restaurant, or in a holding cell. Elizabeth Gilbert
What we share may be a lot like a traffic accident but we get one another. We are survivors of each other. We have been shark to one another, but also lifeboat. That counts for something. Margaret Atwood
Humility was a cult in my family. I only got it out of my father by accident when he was very old that he had won an Olympic gold medal. Hugh Laurie
J. G. Ballard quote: "After being bombarded endlessly by road-safety propaganda it..."
After being bombarded endlessly by road-safety propaganda it was almost a relief to find myself in an actual accident. J. G. Ballard
Lillian Hellman quote: "It's a sad day when you find out that it's not accident or..."
It's a sad day when you find out that it's not accident or time or fortune, but just yourself that kept things from you. Lillian Hellman
Herman Hesse quote: "seriousness, young man, is an accident of time"
seriousness, young man, is an accident of time Herman Hesse
We live in a world of accidents, in which only aesthetic principles have a consistency of which we can be sure. Right and wrong we will struggle with forever, striving to create and maintain an ethical balance; but the shimmer of rain under the street lamps or the great flashing glare of artillery against a night sky- such brutal beauty is beyond dispute. Anne Rice
Certain things existed out of time. It was ten years ago, it was this morning. In that way the accident was like his mother's death. It did not recede so much as hover, waxing and waning at different intervals but always there. It happened in the past and it was always happening. It happened every single minute of the day. Ann Patchett
Oh, I beg your pardon? she exclaimed in a tone of great dismay, and began picking them up again as quickly as she could, for the accident of the gold-fish kept running in her head, and she had a vague sort of idea that they must be collected at once and put back into the jury-box, or they would die. Lewis Carroll
I came to Party Crashing because accidents happen. People you love will die. Nothing you treasure will last forever. And I need to accept and embrace that fact. Chuck Palahniuk
Joseph Conrad quote: "Your strength is just an accident owed to the weakness of others."
Your strength is just an accident owed to the weakness of others. Joseph Conrad
... every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself. Oscar Wilde
Human stories are practically always about one thing, really, aren't they? Death. The inevitability of death. . .. . . (quoting an obituary) 'There is no such thing as a natural death. Nothing that ever happens to man is natural, since his presence calls the whole world into question. All men must die, but for every man his death is an accident, and even if he knows it he would sense to it an unjustifiable violation.' Well, you may agree with the words or not, but those are the key spring of... J. R. R. Tolkien
I do not know by what extraordinary mental accident modern writers so constantly connect the idea of progress with the idea of independent thinking. Progress is obviously the antithesis of independent thinking. For under independent or individualistic thinking, every man starts at the beginning, and goes, in all probability, just as far as his father before him. But if there really be anything of the nature of progress, it must mean, above all things, the careful study and assumption of the... Gilbert K. Chesterton
Chuck Klosterman quote: "The things he did on purpose were usually no different from..."
The things he did on purpose were usually no different from the mistakes he made by accident. Chuck Klosterman
