Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, chief and/or economists:

    Love’s boat has been shattered against the life of everyday. You and I are quits, and it’s useless to draw up a list of mutual hurts, sorrows, and pains.
    Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    Pernicious weed! whose scent the fair annoys,
    Unfriendly to society’s chief joys.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)

    If all economists were laid end to end, they would not reach a conclusion.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
