Cascade Failure

Famous quotes containing the words cascade and/or failure:

    ““End of tomorrow.
    Don’t try to start the car or look deeper
    Into the eternal wimpling of the sky: luster
    On luster, transparency floated onto the topmost layer
    Until the whole thing overflows like a silver
    Wedding cake or Christmas tree, in a cascade of tears.””
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “No failure in America, whether of love or money, is ever simple; it is always a kind of betrayal, of a mass of shadowy, shared hopes.”
    —Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
