Mourning the loss of the phone call is like pining for buggy driving or women in hats or three-martini lunches. They've gone.

Through the years, I found we had Native American blood in us. My great-grandmother came from the island of Martinique, and they hooked up with the Native Americans of Louisiana.
Aaron Neville
I am prepared to believe that a dry martini slightly impairs the palate, but think what it does for the soul.
Alec Waugh
The brain knows the real secret of seduction, more effective than even music and martinis. Just keep whispering, 'Gee, you are really special' to that sack of water and protein that is a body, and you can get it to do practically anything.
Alison Gopnik
I just think it looks so cool when a woman has a dirty martini. She looks so powerful.
Banks
I had to give up martinis - I enjoyed them too much.
Brett Somers
Extra-dirty vodka Martinis - they're so easy to drink! I should really just drink olive juice; it'd be safer.
Cecily Strong
90 percent of the time I follow my usual healthy eating routine, but if it's a date night or girls' night out I'll go for that slice of pretzel bread or dirty martini and not torture myself over it.
Christina Anstead
Really, can anyone drink several martinis at lunch?
Christine Baranski
How many Republicans does it take to change a light bulb? Three. One to mix the martinis, one to change the light bulb, and one to reminisce about how good the old one was.
Christopher Buckley
I purchased a 1955 Rolls-Royce that my wife liked because it was new the year we were married. Then came a 1926 Hispano-Suiza Cabriolet that I bought at my first classic car auction after I had three martinis. As more cars were added, I had to buy a warehouse.
Clive Cussler
We sit down with the kids every single night, not that I want to every night - sometimes I'd rather be out with my husband having a martini at a swanky restaurant - but we sit down with our kids every night at dinner.
Debi Mazar
Fondue sets, martini shakers and juicing machines: three things the world could live completely without.
Douglas Coupland
I bought a piano once because I had the dream of playing As Time Goes By as some girl's leaning on it drinking a martini. Great image. But none of it worked out. I can't even play Chopsticks. But I've got a nice piano at my house!
George Clooney
I suppose there must be idiots who dream of signing deals with publishers while fully intending to drink martinis in cool bars or ride around on skateboards. But the actual writers I know are experts in neurotic self-torture. Every page of writing is the result of a thousand tiny decisions and desperate acts of will.
Helen Garner
I should never have switched from Scotch to Martinis.
Humphrey Bogart
I love bookstores and booksellers. In my novel 'Dirty Martini,' I thanked over 3,000 booksellers by name in the back matter.
J. A. Konrath
One martini is all right. Two are too many, and three are not enough.
James Thurber
The great thing about working with NPR - and, really, there's like a million of 'em - is all the cool stuff I get to do for the public. Meet the president. Hang out at the National Finals Rodeo in Vegas. Drink a $10,000 martini.
John Ridley
Aside from the martini, the mint julep may be the most iconic cocktail in America.
Jonathan Miles
My grandmother is from Martinique, so sometimes I'm ashamed that I don't speak Creole.
Like sexual harassment in the workplace and two-martini lunches, VJs are the stuff of legend whose time and train have passed, but I was fortunate enough to sneak into the express and ride it through the greatest age.
Here are a few of the actors who have brought my novels to TV life: Bill Pullman, Holly Hunter, Frances McDormand, Julian Sands, Gena Rowlands, Rob Lowe, Julia Ormond, Chelsea Hobbs, Tate Donovan, Anne Heche, Max Martini, Campbell Scott, Kimberly Paisley-Williams, Alexa Vega, and the late legends Richard Kiley and Kim Hunter.
I think people think we're all sipping martinis by the pool.
I don't get cast as the guy who steps off a yacht in a white linen suit with a martini.
Bond is part of the system. He's an imperialist and a misogynist, and he laughs at killing people, and he sits there slugging martinis. It'll never be the same thing as this, because Bourne is a guy who is against the establishment, who is paranoid and on the run. I just think fundamentally they're just very different things.
Dirty martinis and music - that's the big motto in our family. We get the booze going, and the music starts playing. Always old-school hip-hop. Jay-Z. Tribe Called Quest. The Pharcyde. My parents love that stuff.
When I talk about my husband, I feel as if people roll their eyes. It's like when you're 16 and order a martini, and the waiter says, 'Do you think I'm stupid?'. They can't grasp that I'm old enough to be married.
It was always fun to skate with Paul Wylie and Paul Martini.
There is better than a good chance that while relaxing on a beach somewhere or sipping a martini in your favorite lounge, you have heard music that makes raise your eyebrow and ask, 'What kind of music is that?'
He was white and shaken, like a dry martini.
As far I'm concerned, being an adult is way more fun than being a kid. But then I was a kid who wanted to be an adult. I'd watch shows like 'Bewitched' and see Darren come home and mix a martini and I'd go, 'That looks awesome! I want to do that!'
I don't think Bond does too much; he's just suave and sexy. He rolls out with his martini and fancy cars. Wow, it sounds like my life already.
You don't want to get me started about apple martinis and the affect they have on my lovemaking. I might just throw you down and make some love to you right here and now.
Why don't you get out of that wet coat and into a dry martini?
Russians really needed a product that would be not as strong as vodka and not as feminine as cheap sparkling wine, so Martini was a good solution.
I think I'm probably much better at the boots and pocket knife thing than I am at the high heels and martini thing.
I don't party on weekends, I don't get drunk or sip martinis. I spend my evenings playing 'Megaman 3,' buster only, with my kids.
I want to be a superhero. Maybe I'll be a bartending superhero who shakes martinis to save the world.
Martinis are glamorous but also so simple because they only have a few ingredients, and you can really taste the vodka.
Films are a very personal experience - just like a martini - so I try to think about what I like, what projects I like to be in, and make sure I feel proud about it because, at the end, I'm the only one that's going to look back and feel proud or not about what I was doing.
I've been learning a lot about how to make a martini and all the variations that you can have with a few ingredients with Belvedere.
When I was a little kid, all I wanted to do was to escape what I thought was the country and get to a city. Probably film and television had influenced me so much, I really thought the key to happiness was living a very artificial life in a penthouse in New York with martini glasses.
