Trees Fall

Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or fall:

    Chinese proverb.

    It is not funny that anything else should fall down; only that a man should fall down.... Why do we laugh? Because it is a gravely religious matter: it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified.
