Bold Signal

Famous quotes containing the words bold and/or signal:

    I will redeem all this on Percy’s head,
    And in the closing of some glorious day,
    Be bold to tell you that I am your son.
    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)
