Falls

Famous quotes containing the word falls:

    The hand holds no chalk
    And each part of the whole falls off
    And cannot know it knew, except
    Here and there, in cold pockets
    Of remembrance, whispers out of time.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    An American cannot converse, but he can discuss, and his talk falls into a dissertation. He speaks to you as if he was addressing a meeting; and if he should chance to become warm in the discussion, he will say “Gentlemen” to the person with whom he is conversing.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    As a dream comes true, it falls flat.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
