Silly Roll Call

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

    What a vast traffic is drove, what a variety of labour is performed in the world to the maintenance of thousands of families that altogether depend on two silly if not odious customs; the taking of snuff and smoking of tobacco; both of which it is certain do infinitely more hurt than good to those that are addicted to them!
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    Rock & roll doesn’t necessarily mean a band. It doesn’t mean a singer, and it doesn’t mean a lyric, really.... It’s that question of trying to be immortal.
    Malcolm McLaren (b. 1946)

    That orbed maiden with white fire laden,
    Whom mortals call the Moon,
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
