Caught Carrying

Famous quotes containing the words caught and/or carrying:

    Who can ... guess how much industry and providence and affection we have caught from the pantomime of brutes?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Dandyism is the last flicker of heroism in decadent ages.... Dandyism is a setting sun; like the declining star, it is magnificent, without heat and full of melancholy. But alas! the rising tide of democracy, which spreads everywhere and reduces everything to the same level, is daily carrying away these last champions of human pride, and submerging, in the waters of oblivion, the last traces of these remarkable myrmidons.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
