Fatal Accidents

Famous quotes containing the words fatal and/or accidents:

    Any defeat, however trivial, may be fatal to a savior of the plain people. They never admire a messiah with a bloody nose.

    The day-laborer is reckoned as standing at the foot of the social scale, yet he is saturated with the laws of the world. His measures are the hours; morning and night, solstice and equinox, geometry, astronomy, and all the lovely accidents of nature play through his mind.
