Called Shot

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or shot:

“True, there are architects so called in this country, and I have heard of one at least possessed with the idea of making architectural ornaments have a core of truth, a necessity, and hence a beauty, as if it were a revelation to him. All very well perhaps from his point of view, but only a little better than the common dilettantism.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Next to a shot of some good, habit-forming narcotic, there is nothing like travelling alone as a “builder-upper.””
