Called

Famous quotes containing the word called:

    Man
    You beheld the saddest and dreariest of all the flowers of the earth
    And as with other flowers you gave it a name
    You called it Thought.
    Jacques Prévert (1900–1977)

    As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.
    Saul Bellow (b. 1915)

    Let nothing be called natural
    In an age of bloody confusion,
    Ordered disorder, planned caprice,
    And dehumanized humanity, lest all things
    Be held unalterable!
    Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
