Proper List

Famous quotes containing the words proper and/or list:

“Never trust the artist. Trust the tale. The proper function of the critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
