Birthday Calls

Famous quotes containing the words birthday and/or calls:

    “Although I’m trying very hard
    To sound unlike a birthday card,
    That’s all this is: so you may find it
    Full of all that lies behind it
    Admiration; friendship too;
    And hope that in the future you
    Reap ever richer revenue.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “I shun father and mother and wife and brother when my genius calls me. I would write on the lintels of the door-post, Whim. I hope that it is somewhat better than whim at last, but we cannot spend the day in explanation.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
