Called Intolerable Acts

Famous quotes containing the words called, intolerable and/or acts:

    A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    That was a way of putting it not very satisfactory:
    A periphrastic study in a worn-out poetical fashion,
    Leaving one still with the intolerable wrestle
    With words and meanings. The poetry does not matter
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Photography suits the temper of this age—of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately.
    Edward Weston (1886–1958)
