Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, paper, ink and/or tests:

    “Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “Gentleman. A man who buys two of the same morning paper from the doorman of his favorite nightclub when he leaves with his girl.”
    —Marlene Dietrich (1904–1992)

    “Language has not the power to speak what love indites:
    The Soul lies buried in the ink that writes.”
    —John Clare (1793–1864)

    “The cinema is going to form the mind of England. The national conscience, the national ideals and tests of conduct, will be those of the film.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
