Famous quotes containing the words objects and/or called:

    “My objects dream and wear new costumes,
    compelled to, it seems, by all the words in my hands
    and the sea that bangs in my throat.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “What we are, that only can we see. All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do. Adam called his house, heaven and earth; Caesar called his house, Rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobbler’s trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar’s garret. Yet line for line and point for point, your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. Build, therefore, your own world.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
