Call Rejection

Famous quotes containing the words call and/or rejection:

    “The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Oh, the holiness of always being the injured party. The historically oppressed can find not only sanctity but safety in the state of victimization. When access to a better life has been denied often enough, and successfully enough, one can use the rejection as an excuse to cease all efforts. After all, one reckons, “they” don’t want me, “they” accept their own mediocrity and refuse my best, “they” don’t deserve me.”
    —Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
