Famous quotes containing the words partial, list and/or carriers:

    The one-eyed man will be King in the country of the blind only if he arrives there in full possession of his partial faculties—that is, providing he is perfectly aware of the precise nature of sight and does not confuse it with second sight ... nor with madness.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    Now, the wry Rosenbloom is dead
    And his finical carriers tread,
    On a hundred legs, the tread
    Of the dead.
    Rosenbloom is dead.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
