Falling Off Quotes (page 2)

In all the ills that befall us, we are more concerned by the intention than the result. A tile that falls off a roof may injure us more seriously, but it will not wound us so deeply as a stone thrown deliberately by a malevolent hand. The blow may miss, but the intention always strikes home. Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I'm one of those passengers who arrives at the airport five or six hours early so I can throw back a few drinks and muster up the courage to board the plane. Apparently I'm not alone because I've never been in an empty airport bar. I don't care what time you get there. Even at 8:00 a. m. you have to fight your way to the bar. At that hour, everyone drinks Bloody Marys so no one can tell it's booze- at least until they fall off their chair. Bob Newhart

Nick Hornby
Douglas Adams quote: "Shee, you guys are so unhip it's a wonder your bums don't fall..."
Shee, you guys are so unhip it's a wonder your bums don't fall off. Douglas Adams
You are like a chestnut burr, prickly outside, but silky-soft within, and a sweet kernel, if one can only get at it. Love will make you show your heart some day, and then the rough burr will fall off. Louisa May Alcott
Sometimes I think the human heart is just a simple shelf. There's only so much you can pile onto it before something falls off an edge and you are left to pick up the pieces. Jodi Picoult
But mankind is a dead tree, covered with fine brilliant galls of people.[..]And if it is so, why is it? she asked, hostile. They were rousing each other to a fine passion of opposition. Why, why are people all balls of bitter dust? Because they won't fall off the tree when they're ripe. They hang on to their old positions when the position is over-past, till they become infested with little worms and dry-rot. David Herbert Lawrence
Julian Barnes quote: "No sooner do we come into this world, than bits of us start to..."

Ah Japhy you taught me the final lesson of them all, you can't fall off a mountain. Jack Kerouac
I'm going to open another vottle. not a vottle, but a bottle. you open it and I'll drink it. and you try to write as much as I did without falling off of your chair. Charles Bukowski
Nicholas Temelcoff is famous on the bridge, a daredevil. He is given all the difficult jobs and he takes them. He descends into the air with no fear. He is a solitary. He assembles ropes, brushes the tackle and pulley at his waist, and falls off the bridge like a diver over the edge of a boat. Michael Ondaatje
Consequently many large railroad systems of heavy capitalization bid fair to run into difficulties on the first serious falling off in general business. John Moody
Rhona Mitra quote: "I'm not really a girlie. I can be once in a while, but then I..."
I'm not really a girlie. I can be once in a while, but then I tend to fall off the heels. Rhona Mitra
