Famous quotes containing the word carried:
“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. Its the drowning out of false voices.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“Thou camst out of thy mothers belly without government, thou hast livd hitherto without government, and thou mayst be carried to thy long home without government, when it shall please the Lord. How many people in this world live without government, yet do well enough, and are well lookd upon?”
—Miguel De Cervantes (15471616)
“I should like to know who has been carried off, except poor dear meI have been more ravished myself than anybody since the Trojan war.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
