Telephone Calls

Famous quotes containing the words telephone and/or calls:

    It’s a hard feeling when everyone’s in a hurry to talk to somebody else, but not to talk to you. Sometimes you get a feeling of need to talk to somebody. Somebody who wants to listen to you other than “Why didn’t you get me the right number?”
    Heather Lamb, U.S. telephone operator. As quoted in Working, book 2, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    you who baited your hook with wide-awake dreams,
    and calls and letters and once a luncheon,
    and twice a reading by me for you.
    But I wouldn’t!
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
