You want accuracy, but not representation. If you know how to make the figuration, it doesn't work. Anything you can make, you make by accident. In painting, you have to know what you do, not how, when you do it. (Quote by - Francis Bacon)
We cannot have peace if we are only concerned with peace. War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life. If we want to attack war, we have to attack that way of life . (Quote by - A. J. Muste)
After you've heard two eyewitness accounts of an auto accident it makes you wonder about history. How do we know, for sure, what ever happened anywhere?(Quote by - unknown)
It is almost irrestible for humans to believe that we have some special relation to the universe, that human life is not just a more-or-less farcical outcome of a chain of accidents reaching back to the first three minutes, but that we were somehow built in from the beginning. (Quote by - Steven Weinberg)
The more contemplative gardener, seeing the garden as a whole, the design of it, and its nature as a still place of delight and refreshment, will wait and hope for the moment when it seems to achieve perfection. Awareness of when such moments are most likely helps to make them happen; they will not be entirely accidental but anticipated; everything will be planned to encourage them. (Quote by - Susan Hill)

In presenting a mathematical argument the great thing is to give the educated reader the chance to catch on at once to the momentary point and take details for granted: two trivialities omitted can add up to an impasse). The unpractised writer, even after the dawn of a conscience, gives him no such chance; before he can spot the point he has to tease his way through a maze of symbols of which not the tiniest suffix can be skipped. (Quote by - J. E. Littlewood)
A man and his wife, each in a different small plane, were out enjoying a flight, when the husband committed a flight error. He was able to recover, but his wife who was following him, crashed and was killed. The husband was distraught, blaming himself for the accident. One day when pleading with the Lord for forgiveness, he heard a voice saying "Jesus died, even for dumb mistakes."(Quote by - Truman Madsen)
Accidents that might occur allow unexpected textures, surfaces, and colors to develop spontaneously from some vision frozen in our subconscious. It is the stuff that we abstract expressionists work with continually. (Quote by - Alan Soffer)
Color accidents are exciting and drive me into an appreciative reassessment of the piece as a whole. (Quote by - Jerry Waese)
As soon as you accept the accidental effects, they are no longer accidents. They are necessity – the part of yourself that you could not expect or design beforehand. Thus the realm of your creativity grows wider. (Quote by - Kazuaki Tanahashi)
Although the painting is accidental in the beginning, I work toward a design that suggests a subject. (Quote by - Maxine Masterfield)
Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects. (Quote by - Dave Barry)
