Called Updike

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or updike:

    There was a young lady called Maud,
    A sort of society fraud.
    In the parlor, ‘tis told,
    She was distant and cold,
    But on the verandah, my Gawd!
    Anonymous.

    Looking foolish does the spirit good. The need not to look foolish is one of youth’s many burdens; as we get older we are exempted from more and more, and float upward in our heedlessness, singing Gratia Dei sum quod sum.
    —John Updike (b. 1932)
