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

    Love’s boat has been shattered against the life of everyday. You and I are quits, and it’s useless to draw up a list of mutual hurts, sorrows, and pains.
    Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    Lastly, his tomb
    Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
    And none shall speak his name.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    Listen.
    We must all stop dying in the little ways,
    in the craters of hate,
    in the potholes of indifference....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
