Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, female, detective and/or characters:

    Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I made a list of things I have
    to remember and a list
    of things I want to forget,
    but I see they are the same list.
    Linda Pastan (b. 1932)

    I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
    Who says my hand a needle better fits,
    A poet’s pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong;
    For such despite they cast on female wits:
    If what I do prove well, it won’t advance,
    They’ll say it’s stolen, or else it was by chance.
    Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)

    The detective novel is the art-for-art’s-sake of our yawning Philistinism, the classic example of a specialized form of art removed from contact with the life it pretends to build on.
    —V.S. (Victor Sawdon)

    No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
