Famous quotes containing the word receive:
“Age wins and one must learn to grow old.... I must learn to walk this long unlovely wintry way, looking for spectacles, shunning the cruel looking-glass, laughing at my clumsiness before others mistakenly condole, not expecting gallantry yet disappointed to receive none, apprehending every ache of shaft of pain, alive to blinding flashes of mortality, unarmed, totally vulnerable.”
—Diana Cooper (1892–1986)
“... till women are more rationally educated, the progress of human virtue and improvement in knowledge must receive continual checks.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“Necessity gives the law and does not itself receive it.”
—Publilius Syrus (1st century B.C.)
