Fall Quotes (page 25)

We turn to stories and pictures and music because they show us who and what and why we are, and what our relationship is to life and death, what is essential, and what, despite the arbitrariness of falling beams, will not burn. Madeleine L'Engle
We want to be open-minded enough to accept radial new ideas when they occasionally come along, but we don't want to be so open-minded that our brains fall out. Michael Shermer
Where has God gone?” [the madman asked] “I shall tell you. We have killed him – you and I. We are his murderers. But how have we done this? How were we able to drink up the seas? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What did we do when we unchained the earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving now? Away from all suns? Are we not perpetually falling? Backwards, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there any up or down left? Are we... Friedrich Nietzsche
Candace Bushnell quote: "You choose the end of the summer to fall in love with this..."
You choose the end of the summer to fall in love with this guy because secretly, you don’t want it to last. Candace Bushnell
If you were looking aside and mentally adding up the hours until the execution of a young killer, all that registered was something dark flashing by. But if you happened to be gazing directly at the window in question and you happened as well to be feeling unprecedentedly calm, four-tenths of a second was more than enough time to identify the falling object as your husband of forty-seven years. Jonathan Franzen
W. H. Auden quote: "The sky is darkening like a stain. Something is going to fall..."
The sky is darkening like a stain. Something is going to fall like rain. And it won't be flowers W. H. Auden
Brave and loyal followers! Long ago we resolved to serve neither the Romans nor anyone other than God Himself, who alone is the true and just Lord of mankind. The time has now come that bids us prove our determination by our deeds we have never submitted to slavery, even when it brought no danger with it. We must not choose slavery now, and with it penalties that will mean the end of everything if we fall alive into the hands of the Romans God has given us this privilege, that we can die... Flavius Josephus
Jane Roberts quote: "One of these days, you're going to fall in love with some guy,..."
One of these days, you're going to fall in love with some guy, and you're not going to know what to do with yourself. Jane Roberts
How great it is when we come to know that times of disappointment can be followed by joy; that guilt over falling short of our ideals can be replaced by pride in doing all that we can; and that anger can be channeled into creative achievements... and into dreams that we can make come true. Fred Rogers
You never teach a subject, you always teach a child. You teach children in a way that they will learn, and then things will fall in place for them. Dorothy Height
What we consume now is not objects or events, but our experience of them. Just as we never need to leave our cars, so we never need to leave our own skulls. The experience is already out there, as ready-made as a pizza, as bluntly objective as a boulder, and all we need to do is receive it. It is as though there is an experience hanging in the air, waiting for a human subject to come alone and have it. Niagara Falls, Dublin Castle and the Great Wall of China do our experiencing for us. ... Terry Eagleton
Margaret Atwood quote: "I am afraid of falling into hopeless despair, over my wasted..."
I am afraid of falling into hopeless despair, over my wasted life, and I am still not sure how it happened. Margaret Atwood
Stephen King quote: "Lover," she whispers, and closes her eyes. It falls upon her...."
Lover," she whispers, and closes her eyes. It falls upon her. Love is like dying. Stephen King
Fear no more, says the heart, committing its burden to some sea, which sighs collectively for all sorrows, and renews, begins, collects, lets fall Virginia Woolf
DEAR MISS MANNERS: When does a gentleman offer his arm to a lady as they are walking down the street together? GENTLE READER: Strictly speaking, only when he can be practical assisstance to her. That is, when the way is steep, dark, crowded, or puddle-y. However, it is rather a cozy juxtapostion, less comprising than walking hand in hand, and rather enjoyable for people who are fond of each other, so Miss Manners allows some leeway in interpreting what is of practical assisstance. One... Judith Martin
