"Things fall apart; the center cannot hold" is from William Butler Yeats's poem "The Second Coming"

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, / The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere / The ceremony of innocence is drowned; / The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity”
