Trees Fall

Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or fall:

    Out of the woods my Master came,
    Content with death and shame.
    When Death and Shame would woo Him last,
    From under the trees they drew Him last:
    ‘Twas on a tree they slew Him—last
    When out of the woods He came.
    Sidney Lanier (1842–1881)

    It is a question whether, when we break a murderer on the wheel, we do not fall into the error a child makes when it hits the chair it has bumped into.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
