Called

Famous quotes containing the word called:

    “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)

    “you see, we live in a cold climate
    and are not permitted to kiss on the street
    so I made up a song that wasn’t true.
    I made up a song called Marriage.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
