Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or list:

    Should we have stayed at home and thought of here?
    Where should we be today?
    Is it right to be watching strangers in a play
    in this strangest of theatres?
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
