Bold Signal

Famous quotes containing the words bold and/or signal:

    Here’s a good world the while! Who is so gross
    That cannot see this palpable device?
    Yet who’s so bold but says he sees it not.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
