Famous quotes containing the words region and/or called:
“I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“What is called politics is comparatively something so superficial and inhuman, that practically I have never fairly recognized that it concerns me at all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
