Emergency Calls

Famous quotes containing the words emergency and/or calls:

    War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    you who baited your hook with wide-awake dreams,
    and calls and letters and once a luncheon,
    and twice a reading by me for you.
    But I wouldn’t!
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
