Caught Carrying

Famous quotes containing the words caught and/or carrying:

“Our young people are diseased with the theological problems of original sin, origin of evil, predestination, and the like. These never presented a practical difficulty to any man,—never darkened across any man’s road, who did not go out of his way to seek them. These are the soul’s mumps, and measles, and whooping- coughs, and those who have not caught them cannot describe their health or prescribe a cure. A simple mind will not know these enemies.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“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)
