‐‐ Hermann Hesse
The call of love sounds very hollow among these immobile rocks.
‐‐ Gustav Mahler
The call that always seemed the toughest to me was the slide and tag play at second. You can see it coming, but you don't know which way the runner is going to slide, where the throw is going to be, and how the fielder is going to take the throw.
‐‐ Cal Hubbard
The calling of art is to extract us from our daily reality, to bring us to a hidden truth that's difficult to access - to a level that's not material but spiritual.
‐‐ Abbas Kiarostami
The calling of the humanities is to make us truly human in the best sense of the word.
‐‐ J. Irwin Miller
The calls that I have received from President Bush and Vice President Cheney, the fact that there are other people that are suffering every bit as much as I am, and that our whole nation is going through a tragedy together, I think we have to think about those things.
‐‐ Ted Olson
The calluses on your feet in space will eventually fall off. So, the bottoms of your feet become very soft like newborn baby feet. But the top of my feet develop rough alligator skin because I use the top of my feet to get around here on space station when using foot rails.
