Falls

Famous quotes containing the word falls:

“Farewell? a long farewell to all my greatness.
This is the state of man; today he puts forth
The tender leaves of hopes, tomorrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon him:
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost,
And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root,
And then he falls as I do.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The most excellent symbol of the people is the paving stone. One walks on it until it falls on one’s head.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

“If that the earth could teem with woman’s tears,
Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
