Call

Famous quotes containing the word call:

    The principles of the good society call for a concern with an order of being—which cannot be proved existentially to the sense organs—where it matters supremely that the human person is inviolable, that reason shall regulate the will, that truth shall prevail over error.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    Whom the gods wish to destroy they first call promising.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    We know not what it is, dear, this sleep so deep and still;
    The folded hands, the awful calm, the cheek so pale and chill;
    The lids that will not lift again, though we may call and call;
    The strange white solitude of peace that settles over all.
    Mary Mapes Dodge (1831–1905)
