Earn Points

Famous quotes containing the words earn and/or points:

    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)

    We only part to meet again.
    Change, as ye list, ye winds: my heart shall be
    The faithful compass that still points to thee.
    John Gay (1685–1732)
