Famous quotes containing the words special and/or weight:
“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. Its the drowning out of false voices.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“I falter where I firmly trod,
And falling with my weight of cares
Upon the great worlds altar-stairs
That slope thro darkness up to God,”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
