Lot

Famous quotes containing the word lot:

    In other countries, art and literature are left to a lot of shabby bums living in attics and feeding on booze and spaghetti, but in America the successful writer or picture-painter is indistinguishable from any other decent businessman.
    Sinclair Lewis (1885–1951)

    The professional must learn to be moved and touched emotionally, yet at the same time stand back objectively: I’ve seen a lot of damage done by tea and sympathy.
    Anthony Storr (b. 1920)

    The lot of man is ceaseless labour,
    Or ceaseless idleness, which is still harder,
    Or irregular labour, which is not pleasant.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
