Quotes by Carol Carnac (?)

“We waste so much time on elaborations. What did that poet chap say - spending ou lives making more and more money because we're for ever discovering we need too much. It's quite true. New things are invented, so of course we think we need them.”
― Carol Carnac, Crossed Skis

“My revered Papa insists on listening to the news thrice daily almost as though it were a religious obligation. We live in an atmosphere conditioned by Korea, United Nations and the Iron Curtain. Is it really true that I shan't have to hear about them? I don't mean to be flippant, but I don't see that it really helps the world if I am depressed three times a day.”
― Carol Carnac, Crossed Skis
