Called

Famous quotes containing the word called:

“I think that I love society as much as most, and am ready enough to fasten myself like a bloodsucker for the time to any full-blooded man that comes in my way. I am naturally no hermit, but might possibly sit out the sturdiest frequenter of the bar-room, if my business called me thither.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Things that we do
‘Neath the Red, White and Blue,
Though they can’t be called happy or glorious,
Certainly keep us notorious.”
—Noël Coward (1899–1973)

“Thank Heaven! the crisis —
The danger, is past,
And the lingering illness,
Is over at last M,
And the fever called “Living”
Is conquered at last.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
