Famous quotes containing the words call and/or letters:
“To plunder, butcher, steal, these things they misname empire: they make a desolation and they call it peace.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–c. 120)
“How do we know, then, when a code’s been cracked? ... when we are right? ... when do we know if we have even received a message? Why, naturally, when, upon one set of substitutions, sense emerges like the outline under a rubbing; when a single tentative construal leads to several; when all the sullen letters of the code cry TEAM! after YEA! has been, by several hands, uncovered.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
