Famous quotes containing the words falls and/or short:
“For me, it is as though at every moment the actual world had completely lost its actuality. As though there was nothing there; as though there were no foundations for anything or as though it escaped us. Only one thing, however, is vividly present: the constant tearing of the veil of appearances; the constant destruction of everything in construction. Nothing holds together, everything falls apart.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“Sir, they are a race of convicts, and ought to be thankful for anything we allow them short of hanging.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
