Famous quotes containing the word accidents:

Those undreamt accidents that have made me
Seeing that Fame has perished this long while,
Being but a part of ancient ceremony
Notorious, till all my priceless things
Are but a post the passing dogs defile.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Some accidents there are in life that a little folly is necessary to help us out of.”
