Famous quotes containing the words postal, directory and/or lists:

    “This is the Night Mail crossing the Border,

    The shop at the corner, the girl next door.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “An actor who knows his business ought to be able to make the London telephone directory sound enthralling.”
    —Donald Sinden (b. 1923)

    “Most of our platitudes notwithstanding, self-deception remains the most difficult deception. The tricks that work on others count for nothing in that very well-lit back alley where one keeps assignations with oneself: no winning smiles will do here, no prettily drawn lists of good intentions.”
    —Joan Didion (b. 1934)
