Famous quotes containing the words calls for, calls and/or inquiry:

    Not to find one’s way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance—nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city—as one loses oneself in a forest—that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    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)

    Trial. A formal inquiry designed to prove and put upon record the blameless characters of judges, advocates and jurors.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
