Famous quotes containing the words complete, list and/or countries:

    Let’s holler and ask him if he won’t prescribe
    For all humanity a complete rest
    From all this wagery. But what’s the use
    Of asking any sympathy of him?
    That class of people don’t know what work is....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Love’s boat has been shattered against the life of everyday. You and I are quits, and it’s useless to draw up a list of mutual hurts, sorrows, and pains.
    Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.
