Telephone Calls

Famous quotes containing the words telephone and/or calls:

“It is possible that the telephone has been responsible for more business inefficiency than any other agency except laudanum.... In the old days when you wanted to get in touch with a man you wrote a note, sprinkled it with sand, and gave it to a man on horseback. It probably was delivered within half an hour, depending on how big a lunch the horse had had. But in these busy days of rush-rush-rush, it is sometimes a week before you can catch your man on the telephone.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

“God has a very big heart, but there is one sin He will not forgive: if a woman calls a man to her bed, and he will not go.”
—Michael Cacoyannis (b. 1922)
