Year Honours List

Famous quotes containing the words year, honours and/or list:

    The higher the mountain on which you stand, the less change in the prospect from year to year, from age to age. Above a certain height there is no change.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Come hither, all ye empty things,
    Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
    Who float upon the tide of state,
    Come hither, and behold your fate.
    Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
    How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
    From all his ill-got honours flung,
    Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.
    Charlotte Bunch (b. 1944)
