The moment the world falls apart, you start forgetting history and wrongdoings in the past.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
I’m facing Niagara Falls – the wind and the mist and the dark and the peregrine falcons – and I’m going to stay focused on the other side.
Personal style isn’t simply an exercise in parroting but rather an exhibition for our own stories – from the gait of our walk to the rhythm of our speech to the manner in which the necktie falls from the knot.
For me, it is about having a passion for solving a big problem and leaving a huge impact. Once you have that, everything else falls into place.

A top-class striker normally plays up on his toes, so he can sprint or go for every ball that falls in his direction.
It’s funny: I put money into short films, and I put really good actors in it, and I write some stuff that’s really funny, and I’ll get, like, a million views. But to the right of me, there will be a video of a kitten that falls into a toilet bowl, and it’s three seconds long, and it will get 25 million views.
I think finding a character starts in hair and makeup, fitting room. That’s where it all kind of falls into place.
‘Out There’ has more of a ‘Freaks And Geeks’ feel to it, while ‘Gravity Falls’ has more of a ‘Scooby Doo’ feel.
Don’t learn to do, but learn in doing. Let your falls not be on a prepared ground, but let them be bona fide falls in the rough and tumble of the world.

If a Latina falls in love with someone who is insecure, it can be a nightmare.

Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.
When I came in, Westerns were the big thing, so I did horse falls, transfers, bulldogs, big fights. That’s where you could really shine if you were really good at it. But then all the Westerns stopped, and I was capable of doing car stunts, motorcycle stunts and high falls. I could do it all.
I moved back to Idaho when I was 6 or 7 and then lived in a little town called Twin Falls and then moved to Boise. So quite different from L.A. I’d been to Disneyland a couple of times, and that was the closest I’d been to L.A.
When you focus on your own work, it all falls in place. People respect you.
To be a global business, you need access to the best talent from around the world – fix this, everything else falls into place. Whether it’s homegrown or imported, we don’t mind where it comes from – we just want the best.
I got interested in reading very early, because a story was read to me, by Hans Christian Andersen, which was ‘The Little Mermaid,’ and I don’t know if you remember ‘The Little Mermaid,’ but it’s dreadfully sad. The little mermaid falls in love with this prince, but she cannot marry him because she is a mermaid.
There’s a certain cruelty to being on a big screen as your eyelids start to sag and your hair falls out and turns gray that you either have to be able to handle or not. What you can’t do is try to force yourself into roles that you could have played or would have played ten years earlier.
Sometimes the greatest meals on vacations are the ones you find when Plan A falls through.
The minute a male model looks like he’s doing a runway walk, it falls apart. It should look like they’re just walking.
When the media goes state and becomes nothing more than an echo chamber for the government, the task of sharing truth falls to the original keepers of liberty: the American people.
The tragedy of Eliot Spitzer is almost Greek: Ascendant son of wealth and privilege dedicates his life to social justice, warns of the corruption lurking among us, and falls victim to his inner demons at the very moment of vindication.
I’m a mother myself, and sometimes mothers get a bad rap just because they’ve tried to do their job. Some people have more of a knack for it than others do, but almost all of it falls to, ‘My mother’s suffocating me.’ Whatever.
One thing you have to be very careful on when you work in health care is this: when you make a sweeping change, you can’t wait to see what falls through the cracks. What could fall through the cracks is somebody’s life. You need to move thoughtfully and carefully with a plan incrementally.
In ‘Teen Wolf,’ I don’t really have any stunts. And if I do, it’s like Stiles falls on the ground or something like that.
I was raised in that generation where it was all ‘Women can have it all!’ and I don’t think you can. I think something falls off the table. The good thing is that the things that stay on the table become so much more important.
Being at the top means never being satisfied with what you’re comfortable with – comfortable means you’ve stopped pushing, and you’re either going to get passed, or you already have been. But if you’re constantly pushing yourself, then you’re exposing yourself to falls and injuries.
If my leg falls off, I’ll get a prosthetic. There’d be no deep sadness about. I’d just get on with it! It’s called life, and I love life. You have to be positive, and you have to crack on no matter what.
Our foreign policy needs to support our energy, economic, defense and domestic policies. It all falls within the arch of national interest. There will be windows of opportunity, but they will open and close quickly.
One of the biggest complaints readers have about my work is that I don’t tell them often enough what they can do. I do think this is an area where journalism sometimes falls short. We describe a really grim situation but don’t really explain to people what they can do about it.
New York… when civilization falls apart, remember, we were way ahead of you.
You can have the greatest characters in the world and write beautifully, but if nothing’s happening, the story falls on its face pretty quickly.
I’m a fan of Otis Redding. I’ve sat around trying to copy some of his phrasing and learn from him, but it kinda falls short.
I was bullied at school. The black girl in Central Falls, Rhode Island, in 1973. There’d be 8 or 10 boys; I would count them as I was running.
‘The Sopranos’ is filled with really retrograde humor. Bathroom humor, falls, stupid puns, bad jokes – infantile, adolescent stuff, but it makes me laugh.
If you get the product and technology right, then the rest usually falls into place.
I feel like we can’t pick who we fall in love with because if we could, we would all make better choices. Your heart just falls where it falls.
I’m not thinking when I’m writing, ‘How’s this going to read?’ Or, ‘What percentage of the audience is going to stay with me?’ The thing itself is what gives me pleasure. Sometimes stuff just falls onto the page so beautifully and happily that it’s deeply satisfying. It’s selfish!
When a woman falls in love with me, I feel guilty. I am convinced that it’s pure obstinacy that keeps me from reciprocating her passion. As I explain to her that I’m gay, it sounds, even to me, like a silly excuse; I scarcely believe it myself.
Most people divorce because one in the couple falls in love with someone else: it’s a common cause of divorce. I still think that it’s tinted – this is my opinion – with a veil of racism and American puritanism.
I know that my energy falls and rises with the phases of the moon. I rest in the winter. I wake up at my own pace, and I blossom in the summer. Life is supposed to be a natural process.
Black holes, we all know, are these regions where if an object falls in, it can’t get out, but the puzzle that many struggled with over the decades is, what happens to the information that an object contains when it falls into a black hole. Is it simply lost?
National Socialism stands or falls by its Weltanschauung.
Historically, terrorism falls in a category different from crimes that concern a criminal court judge.
The main motivation was to explore the empire’s falling. I mean ‘Duck City’ is like an allegory for the Western Empire or the United States. And I was thinking what happens when it falls and declines like the Roman Empire.
I had to experience how someone beside me suddenly falls over and is dead and the bullet has hit him squarely. I had to experience that quite directly. I wanted it. I’m therefore not a pacifist at all – or am I?
I think with the smaller-scale projects, the burden for success falls more squarely on the shoulders of the actors and the director and the script.
