Call Quotes

We call things we don’t understand complex, but that means we haven’t found a good way of thinking about them Picture Quote #1

We still like to make up stories, just as our ancestors did, which use personification to explain the great forces of our existence. Such stories, which explain how the world began or where the sun goes when it sets, we call myths. Mythology is a natural product of the symbolizing mind; poets, when not making up myths of their own, are still commanding ancient ones Picture Quote #1

Mathematics is, in many ways, the most precious response that the human spirit has made to the call of the infinite Picture Quote #1

Call on a business man only at business times, and on business; transact your business, and go about your business, in order to give him time to finish his business Picture Quote #1

There is a battle that goes on between men and women. Many people call it love Picture Quote #1

We might say that psychoanalysis revealed to us the complex penalties of denying the truth of man’s condition, what we might call the costs of pretending not to be mad Picture Quote #1

Pianists call me a composer, composers call me a pianist. The classicists think me a futurist, and the futurists call me a reactionary Picture Quote #1

Each routine you read turns out to be pretty much what you expected. You can call it beautiful code when the code also makes it look like the language was made for the problem Picture Quote #1

Blisters are a painful experience, but if you get enough blisters in the same place, they will eventually produce a callus. That is what we call maturity Picture Quote #1

Dancing’s not work. You can’t call it work. A day I don’t dance is a day I don’t live Picture Quote #1

Humans are ambitious and rational and proud. And we don’t fall in line with people who don’t respect us and who we don’t believe have our best interests at heart. We are willing to follow leaders, but only to the extent that we believe they call on our best, not our worst Picture Quote #1

The key is not to call the decision maker. The key is to have the decision maker call you Picture Quote #1

God does not call us to rest seven days a week with our head in the sand. He calls us to make an impact wherever we are Picture Quote #1

At your next dinner party, try playing the following game. Challenge everyone around the table to produce a single drug that can cure people of an illness, other then antibiotics. If you come up with anything, stop whatever you are doing and call me Picture Quote #1

Each day is a new life. Each moment is really a new life. What we call memories are really present thoughts. What we call anticipations are really present thoughts. No one has ever lived in any moment except the present Picture Quote #1

I play chess about four hours a day in training camp. You have to decide what move to use, or what combination of moves. I think less when I box because the reaction time is a lot quicker, but some people call me the chess boxer because they say I think too much in the ring. I take my time and they don’t see the action they want. Some boxers just go in there and just throw punches and hope to win Picture Quote #1

No one wishes for crisis, but when crises come, they can call forth our best impulses, those of compassion, courage, creativity, and community. And if there are crimes and evils hidden in the dark places of our society and the darker places of our consciousnesses, all the better they come to the surface to be seen, understood, confronted, and healed. If our generation is called to bear a burden of that healing, it is a powerful calling and honor and one within our capability Picture Quote #1

We need deliberately to call to mind the joys of our journey. Perhaps we should try to write down the blessings of one day. We might begin; we could never end; there are not pens or paper enough in all the world Picture Quote #1

I see the origin of the irresistible attraction of metaphor and analogy, the explanation of our strange and permanent need to find similarities in things. I can scarcely refrain from suspecting some ancient, diffused magnetism; a call from the center of things; a dim, almost lost memory, or perhaps a presentiment, pointless in so puny a being, of a universal syntax Picture Quote #1

Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have four quarters than one hundred pennies Picture Quote #1

When a black person has no electricity, no water, they call it the ghetto. When white people have no electricity and no water, they call it camping Picture Quote #1

It is my belief that in our mad world where there is so much pain, rivalry, hatred, violence, inequality, and oppression, it is people who are weak, rejected, marginalized, counted as useless, who can become a source of life and of salvation for us as individuals as well as for our world. And it is my hope that each one of you may experience the incredible gift of the friendship of people who are poor and weak, that you too, may receive life from them. For they call us to love, to communion, to compassion and to community Picture Quote #1

If you don’t have outstanding relief pitching, you might as well piss on the fire and call the dogs Picture Quote #1

You call a star a star, and say it is just a ball of matter moving on a mathematical course. But that is merely how you see it. By so naming things and describing them you are only inventing your own terms about them. And just as speech is invention about objects and ideas, so myth is invention about truth Picture Quote #1

Nature is very clear on this. In fact, there’s one fundamental law that all of nature obeys that mankind breaks everyday. Now this is a law that’s evolved over billions of years and the law is this: nothing in nature takes more than it needs. A redwood tree doesn’t take all of the soil’s nutrients, just what it needs to grow. A lion doesn’t kill every gazelle, just one. We have a term for something in the body when it takes more than its share. We call it cancer Picture Quote #1

Life is terrorism, so spare me your indignation. Life is one big infiltration of our secure defenses. Some people put bombs on buses and blow them up: those are terrorists. Some people speak to you and their words blow you up: what would you call those people? Life is a condemned cell... That’s the only way to protect yourself... to understand that you’re always under sentence of death and to try to get a temporary remission Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a martial arts gym surrounded by men and boys, and I pretty much call myself a tomboy Picture Quote #1

Remember, all of man’s happiness is in the little valleys. Tiny little ones. Small enough to call from one side to the other Picture Quote #1

Most people only work enough so that it feels like work, whereas successful people work at a pace that gets such satisfying results that work is a reward. Truly successful people don’t even call it work; for them, it’s a passion. Why? Because they do enough to win! Picture Quote #1

What is it that we call loneliness. It can’t simply be the absence of others, you can be alone and not lonely, and you can be among people and yet be lonely. So what is it? Picture Quote #1
