Carried

Famous quotes containing the word carried:

    In the old times men carried out their rights for themselves as they lived, but nowadays every baby seems born with a social manifesto in its mouth much bigger than itself.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Give this to Clemenza. I want reliable people, people who won’t get carried away. I mean, we’re not murderers, in spite of what this undertaker says.
    Mario Puzo (b. 1920)

    In this century the writer has carried on a conversation with madness. We might almost say of the twentieth-century writer that he aspires to madness. Some have made it, of course, and they hold special places in our regard. To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It’s the drowning out of false voices.
    Don Delillo (b. 1926)
