Famous quotes containing the words attention and/or signal:
“I have three kinds of friends: those who love me, those who pay no attention to me, and those who detest me.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
“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)
