Famous quotes containing the words couple and/or miles:
“Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“Casting me adrift, 3500 miles from a port of call. Youre sending me to my doom, eh? Well, youre wrong, Christian! Ill take this boat as she floats to England if I must. Ill live to see youall of youhanging from the highest yardarms in the British fleet.”
—Talbot Jennings (18961985)
