Famous quotes containing the words host, city and/or selection:
“Thrust, my daughter or son, to escape, there is none, none, none,
Nor when all ponderous heaven’s host of waters breaks.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“No city should be too large for a man to walk out of in a morning.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“Judge Ginsburg’s selection should be a model—chosen on merit and not ideology, despite some naysaying, with little advance publicity. Her treatment could begin to overturn a terrible precedent: that is, that the most terrifying sentence among the accomplished in America has become, “Honey—the White House is on the phone.””
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
