System Calls

Famous quotes containing the words system and/or calls:

“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

“Whoever won’t fight when the President calls him, deserves to be kicked back in his hole and kept there.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
