Famous quotes containing the words called and/or father:
“Who called love conquering,
When its sweet flower
So easily dries among the sour
Lanes of the living?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“My father is one of the few men I know who say they do not like Shakespeare. He says “Shakespeare is so very coarse.” I could forgive my father for not liking Shakespeare if it was only because Shakespeare wrote poetry, but this is not the reason. He says he likes Tennyson and this gravely aggravates his offence.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
