Caught Carrying

Famous quotes containing the words caught and/or carrying:

“...I remembered the rose bush that had reached a thorny branch out through the ragged fence, and caught my dress, detaining me when I would have passed on. And again the symbolism of it all came over me. These memories and visions of the poor—they were the clutch of the thorns. Social workers have all felt it. It holds them to their work, because the thorns curve backward, and one cannot pull away.”
—Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)

“What is
there in being able
to say that one has dominated the stream in an attitude of
self-defense;

in proving that one has had the experience
of carrying a stick?”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
