Famous quotes containing the word carried:
“I should like to know who has been carried off, except poor dear me—I have been more ravished myself than anybody since the Trojan war.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The universe is finished; the copestone is on, and the chips were carried off a million years ago.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Meantime the education of the general mind never stops. The reveries of the true and simple are prophetic. What the tender poetic youth dreams, and prays, and paints today, but shuns the ridicule of saying aloud, shall presently be the resolutions of public bodies, then shall be carried as grievance and bill of rights through conflict and war, and then shall be triumphant law and establishment for a hundred years, until it gives place, in turn, to new prayers and pictures.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
