Famous quotes containing the word mccarthy:
“Combativeness was, I suppose, the dominant trait in my grandmother’s nature.

—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Being abroad makes you conscious of the whole imitative side of human behavior. The ape in man.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
