Famous quotes containing the words calico and/or people:

    In the felt of the morning the calico minded,
    sufficiently starched, insert papers, hit keys,
    efficient and sure as their adding machines;
    yet they weep in the vault,

    When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.
