Calling Quotes (page 169)

You lie, in faith; for you are call'd plain Kate, And bonny Kate and sometimes Kate the curst; But Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate, For dainties are all Kates, and therefore, Kate, Take this of me, Kate of my consolation; Hearing thy mildness praised in every town, Thy virtues spoke of, and thy beauty sounded, Yet not so deeply as to thee belongs, Myself am moved to woo thee for my wife. William Shakespeare

I don't want to have 'carnal knowledge' with any old Zuni, asshole." From the way she seemed to relish the word asshole as it unwound from her lips, I guessed that she rarely used it. It sounded like a mark of esteem, and I was momentarily very jealous of Arthur. I wondered what it might take to get Jane to call me an asshole too. Michael Chabon
The P’lice Department hounded him, they called him Mr. Smith. They got him on conspiracy, they were never quite sure who with. Bob Dylan
I shall call modern that art which ... presents the fact that the unpresentable exists. To make visible that there is something which can be conceived and which can neither be seen nor made visible. Jean-Francois Lyotard
He exulted in the possession of himself once more; he realized how much of the delight of the world he had lost when he was absorbed in that madness which they called love; he had had enough of it; he did not want to be in love anymore if love was that. W. Somerset Maugham
We gather at night to celebratebeing human. Sometimes we call out lowto the tambourine. Fish drink the sea, but the sea does not get smaller! Weeat the clouds and evening light. Weare slaves tasting the royal wine. Rumi
That is at bottom the only courage that is demanded of us: to have courage for the most strange, the most singular and the most inexplicable that we may encounter. That mankind has in this sense been cowardly has done life endless harm; the experiences that are called "visions," the whole so-called "spirit-world," death, all those things that are so closely akin to us, have by daily parrying been so crowded out of life that the senses with which we could have grasped them are atrophied. To... Rainer Maria Rilke

Free verse'? You may as well call sleeping in a ditch 'free architecture'. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Socrates called himself a midwife of ideas. A great book is often such a midwife, delivering to full existence what has been coiled like an embryo in the dark, silent depths of the brain. Clifton Fadiman
There will be occasions in each of our lives when we will be called upon to explain or to defend our beliefs. When the time for performance arrives, the time for preparation is past. Thomas S. Monson
Aeschylus quote: "Bethink thee of the adage, 'Call none blest, till peaceful..."
