Famous quotes containing the words carroll and/or county:

    They roused him with muffins—they roused him with ice—
    They roused him with mustard and cress—
    They roused him with jam and judicious advice—
    They set him conundrums to guess.
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Jack: What’s so special about him?
    Editor: They say he’s an honest man.
    Robert Rossen (1908–1966)
