Famous quotes containing the words host and/or selection:

    Pure was thy life; its bloody close
    Hath placed thee with the sons of light,
    Among the noble host of those
    Who perished in the cause of Right.
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    Judge Ginsburg’s selection should be a model—chosen on merit and not ideology, despite some naysaying, with little advance publicity. Her treatment could begin to overturn a terrible precedent: that is, that the most terrifying sentence among the accomplished in America has become, “Honey—the White House is on the phone.”
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
