Called Shot

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or shot:

“Those who believe in their truth—the only ones whose imprint is retained by the memory of men—leave the earth behind them strewn with corpses. Religions number in their ledgers more murders than the bloodiest tyrannies account for, and those whom humanity has called divine far surpass the most conscientious murderers in their thirst for slaughter.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)

“Next to a shot of some good, habit-forming narcotic, there is nothing like travelling alone as a “builder-upper.””
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
