Litany Quotations
America, how can I write a holy litany in your silly mood?
Allen Ginsberg
And I have this little litany of things they can do. And the first one, of course, is to write - every day, no excuses. It's so easy to make excuses. Even professional writers have days when they'd rather clean the toilet than do the writing.
Octavia Butler
With the supermarket as our temple and the singing commercial as our litany, are we likely to fire the world with an irresistible vision of America's exalted purpose and inspiring way of life?
Adlai Stevenson
I totally relate to Tom Cruise. He's not crazy, it's just the litany of the mid-life crisis.
Bret Easton Ellis
