Called

Famous quotes containing the word called:

    The state does not demand justice of its members, but thinks that it succeeds very well with the least degree of it, hardly more than rogues practice; and so do the neighborhood and the family. What is commonly called Friendship even is only a little more honor among rogues.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    He loved strange thought
    And knew that sweet extremity of pride
    That’s called platonic love,
    And that to such a pitch of passion wrought
    Nothing could bring him, when his lady died,
    Anodyne for his love.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I’ll
    vacuum up my stale hair, I’ll
    pay all my neighbors’ bad debts, I’ll
    write a poem called Yellow and put
    my lips down to drink it up....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
