Fatal Comet

Famous quotes containing the words fatal and/or comet:

“Knowledge, like matter, [my father] would affirm, was divisible in infinitum;Mthat the grains and scruples were as much a part of it, as the gravitation of the whole world.—In a word, he would say, error was error,—no matter where it fell,—whether in a fraction,—or a pound,—’twas alike fatal to truth.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

“By being seldom seen, I could not stir
But like a comet I was wondered at.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
