Accidentally

Famous quotes containing the word accidentally:

“Pain itself can be pleasurable accidentally in so far as it is accompanied by wonder, as in stage-plays; or in so far as it recalls a beloved object to one’s memory, and makes one feel one’s love for the thing, whose absence gives us pain. Consequently, since love is pleasant, both pain and whatever else results from love, in so far as they remind us of our love, are pleasant.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)

“They mean to tell us all was rolling blind
Till accidentally it hit on mind”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Five hundred men, ordinary men, chosen accidentally from among the unemployed.”
—David Lloyd George (1863–1945)
