Falling Man

Famous quotes containing the words falling and/or man:

“Freedom is the essence of this faith. It has for its object simply to make men good and wise. Its institutions then should be as flexible as the wants of men. That form out of which the life and suitableness have departed should be as worthless in its eyes as the dead leaves that are falling around us.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“It is impossible not to envy the man who can dismiss reason, although we know how it must turn out at last.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
