Famous quotes containing the words list of and/or list:
“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”

If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmastered importunity.”
