Falls Quotes (page 23)

Gary Larson quote: "If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is around to hear it,..."
If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is around to hear it, and it hits a mime, does anyone care? Gary Larson
I wish I was a despot that I might save the noble, the beautiful trees that are daily falling sacrifice to the cupidity of their owners, or the necessity of the poor. The unnecessary felling of a tree, perhaps the growth of centuries, seems to me a crime little short of murder. Thomas Jefferson
Bertrand Russell quote: "It's easy to fall in love. The hard part is finding someone to..."
It's easy to fall in love. The hard part is finding someone to catch you. Bertrand Russell
In books, day breaks, and night falls. In life, night rises from the ground. The day hangs on for as long as it can, bright and eager, absolutely and positively the last guest to leave the party, while the ground darkens, oozing night around your ankles, swallowing for ever that dropped contact lens, making you miss that low catch in the gully on the last ball of the last over. Hugh Laurie
Elizabeth Wurtzel quote: "Into every sunny life a little rain must fall."
Into every sunny life a little rain must fall. Elizabeth Wurtzel
Under the Mountain dark and tall. The King has come unto his hall! His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread, And ever so his foes shall fall. The sword is sharp, the spear is long, The arrow swift, the Gate is strong; The heart is bold that looks on gold; The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong. The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fells like ringing bells. In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells.-from The Hobbit (Dwarves Battle Song) J. R. R. Tolkien
bad men... aim at getting more than their share of advantages, while in labor and public service they fall short of their share; and each man wishing for advantage to himself criticizes his neighbor and stands in his way; for if people do not watch it carefully the common weal is soon destroyed. The result is that they are in a state of faction, putting compulsion on each other but unwilling themselves to do what is just. Aristotle
Anne Frank quote: "The weak fall, but the strong will remain and never go under!"
The weak fall, but the strong will remain and never go under! Anne Frank
I never fell in love with another woman. I cannot have a relationship with a woman if I'm not in love...I'm a very particular person, I'm not very much interested in short adventures with women or girls. I have to fall in love with someone in order to have a realtionship with her. Omar Sharif
Sylvia Plath quote: "August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not..."
August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time. Sylvia Plath
Sometimes history cleaves and for one helpless moment stands still like the pause when the ax splits a log and the two halves rest on end waiting to fall. Barbara Kingsolver
Thomas Mann quote: "Is not the pastness of the past the more profound, the more..."
Is not the pastness of the past the more profound, the more legendary, the more immediately it falls before the present ? Thomas Mann
Did I not feel that the time has come for the questions of women's wrongs to be laid before the public? Did I not believe that women herself must do this work, for women alone understand the height, the depth, the breadth of her degradation. - Seneca Falls Convention, 1848 Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "A fish and a bird may indeed fall in love, but where shall..."
A fish and a bird may indeed fall in love, but where shall they live? Elizabeth Gilbert
The story of my recent life.' I like that phrase. It makes more sense than 'the story of my life', because we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality- and in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization. Mitch Albom
