Silly Roll Call

Famous quotes containing the words silly, roll and/or call:

    With his mother gaunt and lean
    In the valley warm and green,
    Full of baby wonderment,
    Blinking out of silly eyes
    At a hundred mysteries;
    Ralph Hodgson (c. 1871–1962)

    Let us roll all our strength, and all
    Our sweetness, up into one ball:
    And tear our pleasures with rough strife,
    Thorough the iron gates of life.
    Thus, though we cannot make our sun
    Stand still, yet we will make him run.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    We can see nothing whatever of the soul unless it is visible in the expression of the countenance; one might call the faces at a large assembly of people a history of the human soul written in a kind of Chinese ideograms.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
