Famous quotes containing the word call:
“There is also a reasonable tolerance: reason tolerates the reasonable. It is, however, almost tautological to call this ‘tolerance’ any longer, as it becomes a matter of course.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“Until they come to see us from their planet, I wait patiently. I hear them saying: Don’t call us, we’ll call you.”
—Marlene Dietrich (1904–92)
“It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for thy name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
