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

    “Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “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)

    “Sabra Cravat: I should think you’d be ashamed of yourself. Mooning around with an Indian hired girl.
    Cim Cravat: Ruby isn’t an Indian hired girl. She’s the daughter of an Osage chief.
    Sabra Cravat: Osage, fiddlesticks.
    Cim Cravat: She’s just as important in the Osage nation as, well, as Alice Roosevelt is in Washington.”
    —Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)

    “I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its “successful experiment” that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
