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

    “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)

    “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)

    “Only one ship is seeking us a black- Sailed unfamiliar, towing at her back
    A huge and birdless silence. In her wake
    No waters breed or break.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
