England Match

Famous quotes containing the words england and/or match:

“Why should the generations overlap one another at all? Why cannot we be buried as eggs in neat little cells with ten or twenty thousand pounds each wrapped round us in Bank of England notes, and wake up, as the Sphinx wasp does, to find that its papa and mamma have not only left ample provision at its elbow but have been eaten by sparrows some weeks before we began to live consciously on our own accounts?”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“I’ve noticed over the years that kids who are allowed to be emotionally honest develop a genuineness that more repressed kids don’t ever seem to acquire. Their words match their facial expressions. Their actions match their words, and they relate from a position of strength.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
