Accidental

Famous quotes containing the word accidental:

“Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Of your philosophy you make no use
If you give place to accidental evils.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter
and being part of it, until her teeth were only accidental stars with
a talent for squad-drill.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
