Falls Church

Famous quotes containing the words falls and/or church:

“Fate forces its way to the powerful and violent. With subservient obedience it will assume for years dependency on one individual: Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon, because it loves the elemental human being who grows to resemble it, the intangible element. Sometimes, and these are the most astonishing moments in world history, the thread of fate falls into the hands of a complete nobody but only for a twitching minute.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

“It’s better to sit in the bar and think of church than to sit in church and to think of the bar.”
—Swedish proverb, trans. by Verne Moberg.
