Famous quotes containing the words telephone and/or call:

    “A woman spent all Christmas Day in a telephone box without ringing anyone. If someone comes to phone, she leaves the box, then resumes her place afterwards. No one calls her either, but from a window in the street, someone watched her all day, no doubt since they had nothing better to do. The Christmas syndrome.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “Do you call the jewel blind, because your eye is?”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
