Special Service

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or service:

“I think those Southern writers [William Faulkner, Carson McCullers] have analyzed very carefully the buildup in the South of a special consciousness brought about by the self- condemnation resulting from slavery, the humiliation following the War Between the States and the hope, sometimes expressed timidly, for redemption.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

“Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.”
