Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, historic, senators, college and/or justice:

    “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)

    “Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
    —Janet Frame (b. 1924)

    “The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Michael Corleone: My father is no different than any powerful man. Any man who’s responsible for other people. Like a senator or a president.
    Kaye: Do you know how naive you sound?
    Michael Corleone: Why?
    Kaye: Senators and presidents don’t have men killed.”
    —Mario Puzo (b. 1920)

    “I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
    —Nora Ephron (b. 1941)

    “Deep in the human heart
    The fire of justice burns;
    A vision of a world renewed
    Through radical concern.”
    —William L. Wallace (20th century)
