Fall

Famous quotes containing the word fall:

“Compassion is frequently a sense of our own misfortunes, in those of other men; it is an ingenious foresight of the disasters that may fall upon us hereafter.

—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“The search for happiness ... always ends in the ghastly sense of the bottomless nothingness into which you will inevitably fall if you strain any further.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“Now you know Danton: in a few hours he will fall asleep in the arms of glory.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
