Earn Miles

Famous quotes containing the words earn and/or miles:

“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)

“But the flower leaned aside
And thought of naught to say,
And morning found the breeze
A hundred miles away.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
