Falling

Famous quotes containing the word falling:

    O falling fire and piercing cry
    and panic, and a weak mailed fist
    clenched ignorant against the sky!
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    with the plane nowhere and her body taking by the throat
    The undying cry of the void falling living beginning to be something
    That no one has ever been and lived through screaming without enough air
    James Dickey (b. 1923)

    Moderation is a fear of falling into that envy and contempt which those who grow giddy with their good fortune quite justly draw upon themselves. It is a vain boasting of the greatness of our mind.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
