Famous quotes containing the word called:
“I have lately got back to that glorious society called Solitude, where we meet our friends continually, and can imagine the outside world also to be peopled. Yet some of my acquaintance would fain hustle me into the almshouse for the sake of society, as if I were pining for that diet, when I seem to myself a most befriended man, and find constant employment. However, they do not believe a word I say.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Thatcher: You’re too old to call me “Mr. Thatcher,” Charles.
Charles Foster Kane: You’re too old to be called anything else. You were always too old.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
“There was a young fellow called Lancelot
Whom his neighbors all looked on askance a lot.
Whenever he’d pass
A presentable lass,
The front of his pants would advance a lot.”
