Accident Occurred

Famous quotes containing the words accident and/or occurred:

“A sudden light transfigures a trivial thing, a weather-vane, a wind-mill, a winnowing flail, the dust in the barn door; a moment,—and the thing has vanished, because it was pure effect; but it leaves a relish behind it, a longing that the accident may happen again.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)

“The shutters were drawn and the undertaker wiped his feet—
He was aware that this sort of thing had occurred before.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
