Large Family Listed

Famous quotes containing the words large, family and/or listed:

“I don’t think it is always necessary to take up the anti-colonial—or is it post- colonial?—cudgels against English. What seems to me to be happening is that those people who were once colonized by the language are now rapidly remaking it, domesticating it, becoming more and more relaxed about the way they use it—assisted by the English language’s enormous flexibility and size, they are carving out large territories for themselves within its frontiers.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)

“Govern a small family as you would cook a small fish, very gently.”
—(20th century)

“I could I trust starve like a gentleman. It’s listed as part of the poetic training, you know.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
