Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or works:

    “A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Do not worry about the incarnation of ideas. If you are a poet, your works will contain them without your knowledge—they will be both moral and national if you follow your inspiration freely.”
    —Vissarion Belinsky (1810–1848)
