Things Fall Apart Quotes

Probably all writers are at some point briefly under the impression that they are in the forefront of disintegration and chaos, that they are among the first to live and work after things fall apart.
- Martin Amis

Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together
- Marilyn Monroe

I don't stop when I'm tired. I only stop when I'm done...
I'm the type of person that tries to fall back asleep in the morning just to finish a dream...
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
- Marilyn Monroe

Things fall apart, even when you think they're stronger than anything you could ever imagine.

How can all the small insects simultaneously know, without a brain, without knowing anything, that today they should visit this meadow, tomorrow that one?

As soon as you let go, everything comes to you. Then you know, without knowing.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world
- W B Yeats

When you try to hold love too tightly, it leaves you without warning. You have to revel in the ease of it, because even when the hard times come you can overtake them, and fear is just a crutch and the sibling of doubt.
- Jennifer Megan Varnadore

Technical people don't make good slaves. Without their wholehearted cooperation, things fall apart.
- Vernor Vinge
