Famous quotes containing the words list, oldest, living, person, united and/or states:

    “My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
    —Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    “The oldest hath borne most; we that are young
    Shall never see so much, nor live so long.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “When I contemplate the accumulation of guilt and remorse which, like a garbage-can, I carry through life, and which is fed not only by the lightest action but by the most harmless pleasure, I feel Man to be of all living things the most biologically incompetent and ill-organized. Why has he acquired a seventy years’ life-span only to poison it incurably by the mere being of himself? Why has he thrown Conscience, like a dead rat, to putrefy in the well?”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “For the person for whom small things do not exist, the great is not great.”
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    “The real charm of the United States is that it is the only comic country ever heard of.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “I think those Southern writers [William Faulkner, Carson McCullers] have analyzed very carefully the buildup in the South of a special consciousness brought about by the self- condemnation resulting from slavery, the humiliation following the War Between the States and the hope, sometimes expressed timidly, for redemption.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
