Carpet Pages

Famous quotes containing the words carpet and/or pages:

“There are lots of things that you can brush under the carpet about yourself until you’re faced with somebody whose needs won’t be put off.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

“Life’s so ordinary that literature has to deal with the exceptional. Exceptional talent, power, social position, wealth.... Drama begins where there’s freedom of choice. And freedom of choice begins when social or psychological conditions are exceptional. That’s why the inhabitants of imaginative literature have always been recruited from the pages of Who’s Who.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
