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

    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)

    I made a list of things I have
    to remember and a list
    of things I want to forget,
    but I see they are the same list.
    Linda Pastan (b. 1932)

    Death is the king of this world: ‘tis his park
    Where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain
    Are music for his banquet
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
