Called

Famous quotes containing the word called:

    Had I but awakened from sleep
    And called her name, she had heard

    The horn’s sweet note and the tooth of the hound.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    If the devil were to offer me a resurgence of what is commonly called virility, I’d decline. “Just keep my liver and lungs in good working order,” I’d reply, “so I can go on drinking and smoking!”
    Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)

    You have promise, Mlle. Dubois, but you must choose between an operatic career and what is usually called “a normal life.” Though why it is so called is beyond me.
    Eric Taylor, Leroux, and Arthur Lubin. M. Villeneuve (Frank Puglia)
