Fatal

Famous quotes containing the word fatal:

    Any defeat, however trivial, may be fatal to a savior of the plain people. They never admire a messiah with a bloody nose.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    It was a fatal day when the public discovered that the pen is mightier than the paving-stone, and can be made as offensive as the brickbat. They at once sought for the journalist, found him, developed him, and made him their industrious and well-paid servant. It is greatly to be regretted, for both their sakes.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    I am thirty-three—the age of the good Sans-culotte Jesus; an age fatal to revolutionists.
    Camille Desmoulins (1760–1794)
