Called

Famous quotes containing the word called:

    A Whig is properly what is called a Trimmer—that is, a coward to both sides of the question, who dare not be a knave nor an honest man, but is a sort of whiffling, shuffling, cunning, silly, contemptible, unmeaning negation of the two.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    Principally I hate and detest that animal called man; although I heartily love John, Peter, Thomas, and so forth.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    The more one analyses people, the more all reasons for analysis disappear. Sooner or later one comes to that dreadful universal thing called human nature.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
