Special Orders

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or orders:

    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)

    God is a foreman with certain definite views
    Who orders life in shifts of work and leisure.
    Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
