Famous quotes containing the word accidents:

    “Some accidents there are in life that a little folly is necessary to help us out of.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
