Caught Carrying

Famous quotes containing the words caught and/or carrying:

    In every philosophical school, three thinkers succeed one another in the following way: the first produces out of himself the sap and seed, the second draws it out into threads and spins a synthetic web, and the third waits in this web for the sacrificial victims that are caught in it—and tries to live off philosophy.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    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)
