Tumbling Quotes

“Boeing To Gravity by Stewart Stafford

Tumbling down a hill,
An upside-down idyll,
No time to make a will,
If prematurely killed.

And as you tumble down,
Slowly fades your frown,
Falling ankle over crown,
Rolling all the way to town.

Reach the end with a bump,
Sporting that fetching lump,
And to your feet, you jump,
As excited fists both pump.

― Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing

“Even brahmins [people belonging to the caste who follow ritual practices] will not delve in the past and yet these intellectuals keep remembering, ‘This person cheated me. This man called me stupid!’ The flow of speech is like the flow of water. How can we ask it, ‘How did you come here tumbling down?”
― Dada Bhagwan
