Short Range Radar

Famous quotes containing the words short, range and/or radar:

    In my short experience of human life, the outward obstacles, if there were any such, have not been living men, but the institutions of the dead.

    Lord Bateman prepared for another marriage,
    So both their hearts so full of glee.
    ‘I will range no more to foreign countries
    Now since Sophia have a-crossed the sea.’
    Unknown. Young Beichan (l. 81–84)

    So I begin to understand why my mother’s radar is so sensitive to criticism. She still treads the well-worn ruts of her youth, when her impression of mother was of a woman hard to please, frequently negative, and rarely satisfied with anyone—least of all herself.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
