Carry

Famous quotes containing the word carry:

“We must not leap to the fatalistic conclusion that we are stuck with the conceptual scheme that we grew up in. We can change it, bit by bit, plank by plank, though meanwhile there is nothing to carry us along but the evolving conceptual scheme itself. The philosopher’s task was well compared by Neurath to that of a mariner who must rebuild his ship on the open sea.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

“When the sky is clear, carry an umbrella; though your stomach is full, carry provisions.”
—Chinese proverb.

“Everything can change, but not the language that we carry inside us, like a world more exclusive and final than one’s mother’s womb.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
