Called Strike

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or strike:

“A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“if thou slip thy troth and do not come at all.
As minutes in the clock do strike so call for death I shall:
To please both thy false heart, and rid myself from woe,
That rather had to die in troth than live forsaken so.”
