Fallen

Famous quotes containing the word fallen:

    If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to “a semi-official statement”; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as “a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable.” It is only when the journalist is reporting a whim of his own, and one to which he attaches minor importance, that he defines it as the opinion of “well-informed circles.”
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

    Like a bad doctor who has fallen down sick you are cast down, and cannot find what sort of drugs would cure your ailment.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    A hunger seized my heart; I read
    Of that glad year which once had been,
    In those fallen leaves which kept their green,
    The noble letters of the dead.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
