Emergency Calls

Famous quotes containing the words emergency and/or calls:

    War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    Go, smiling souls, your new-built cages break,
    In heaven you’ll learn to sing, ere here to speak,
    Nor let the milky fonts that bathe your thirst
    Be your delay;
    The place that calls you hence is, at the worst,
    Milk all the way.
    Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
