Hand Signal

Famous quotes containing the words hand and/or signal:

The doctor, when he comes. Don’t let him, sister!”
So. But the hand was gone already.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Certainly the effort to remain unchanged, young, when the body gives so impressive a signal of change as the menopause, is gallant; but it is a stupid, self-sacrificial gallantry, better befitting a boy of twenty than a woman of forty-five or fifty. Let the athletes die young and laurel-crowned. Let the soldiers earn the Purple Hearts. Let women die old, white-crowned, with human hearts.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
