Famous quotes containing the word carried:
“Pregnant women! They had that weird frisson, an aura of magic that combined awkwardly with an earthy sense of duty. Mundane, because they were nothing unique on the suburban streets; ethereal because their attention was ever somewhere else. Whatever you said was trivial. And they had that preciousness which they imposed wherever they went, compelling attention, constantly reminding you that they carried the future inside, its contours already drawn, but veiled, private, an inner secret.”
—Ruth Morgan (1920–1978)
“Love and forgetting might have carried them
A little further up the mountainside
With night so near, but not much further up.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“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)
