Famous quotes containing the word carlos:

    “Look at this poet William Carlos Williams: he is primitive and native, and his roots are in raw forest and violent places; he is word-sick and place-crazy. He admires strength, but for what? Violence! This is the cult of the frontier mind.”
    —Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
