Recall

Famous quotes containing the word recall:

    It is, after all, very interesting that sound can reflect like water, like a mirror. And notice that Vinteuil’s phrase only shows me that to which I did not pay attention at the time. Of my worries, of my loves at that time, it does not recall a thing, it has made the exchange.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    The rank and file have let their servants become their masters and dictators.... Provision should be made in all union constitutions for the recall of leaders. Big salaries should not be paid. Career hunters should be driven out, as well as leaders who use labor for political ends. These types are menaces to the advancement of labor.
    Mother Jones (1830–1930)

    “Why wouldn’t it scare me to have a fire
    Begin in smudge with ropy smoke, and know
    That still, if I repent, I may recall it,
    But in a moment not: a little spurt
    Of burning fatness, and then nothing but
    The fire itself can put it out, and that
    By burning out....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
