Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, well-known, tribute and/or acts:

    “Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
    —Janet Frame (b. 1924)

    “Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”
    —Charlotte Bunch (b. 1944)

    “It is well-known what a middleman is: he is a man who bamboozles one party and plunders the other.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
    —Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

    “That’s the penalty we have to pay for our acts of foolishness—someone else always suffers for them.”
    —Alfred Sutro (1863–1933)
