Contingency Force

Famous quotes containing the words contingency and/or force:

“Life, as the most ancient of all metaphors insists, is a journey; and the travel book, in its deceptive simulation of the journey’s fits and starts, rehearses life’s own fragmentation. More even than the novel, it embraces the contingency of things.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)

“Strange how such innocence gets its own way.
I shouldn’t be surprised if in this world
It were the force that would at last prevail.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
