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

    “Thus when I come to shape here at this table between my hands the story of my life and set it before you as a complete thing, I have to recall things gone far, gone deep, sunk into this life or that and become part of it; dreams, too, things surrounding me, and the inmates, those old half-articulate ghosts who keep up their hauntings by day and night ... shadows of people one might have been; unborn selves.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)

    “The punters know that the horse named Morality rarely gets past the post, whereas the nag named Self-Interest always runs a good race.”
    —Gough Whitlam (b. 1916)
