Quotes about telephone

1. I won't telephone him. I'll never telephone him again as long as I live. He'll rot in hell, before I'll call him up. You don't have to give me strength, God; I have it myself. If he wanted me, he could get me. He knows where I am. He knows I'm waiting here. He's so sure of me, so sure. I wonder why they hate you, as soon as they are sure of you.
- Dorothy Parker, The Portable Dorothy Parker

And the equally big answer: Anything you damn well want.
- Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
