Famous quotes containing the word telephone:

    “But even in a telephone booth
    evil can seep out of the receiver
    and we must cover it with a mattress,
    and then tear it from its roots
    and bury it,
    bury it.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “My sole inspiration is a telephone call from a director.”
    —Cole Porter (1893–1964)

    “The telephone gives us the happiness of being together yet safely apart.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
