Call

Famous quotes containing the word call:

    You call yourself free? I want to hear your ruling thought and not that you have escaped a yoke. Are you such a one as was permitted to escape a yoke? There are some who threw away their ultimate worth when they threw away their servitude. Free from what? What is that to Zarathustra! But your eyes should announce to me brightly: free for what?
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    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)

    O curse of marriage,
    That we can call these delicate creatures ours
    And not their appetites! I had rather be a toad,
    And live upon the vapour of a dungeon
    Than keep a corner in the thing I love
    For others’ uses.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
