Famous quotes containing the words special and/or achievements:

    “In this century the writer has carried on a conversation with madness. We might almost say of the twentieth-century writer that he aspires to madness. Some have made it, of course, and they hold special places in our regard. To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It’s the drowning out of false voices.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)

    “There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
