Accidents Due

Famous quotes containing the words accidents and/or due:

    I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs,
    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)

    It is an unscrupulous intellect that does not pay to antiquity its due reverence.
