Expected Scores

Famous quotes containing the words expected and/or scores:

    Vanessa wanted to be a ballerina. Dad had such hopes for her.... Corin was the academically brilliant one, and a fencer of Olympic standard. Everything was expected of them, and they fulfilled all expectations. But I was the one of whom nothing was expected. I remember a game the three of us played. Vanessa was the President of the United States, Corin was the British Prime Minister—and I was the royal dog.
    Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)

    So, Willy, let you and me be wipers
    Of scores out with all men—especially pipers;
    And, whether they pipe us free, from rats or from mice,
    If we’ve promised them aught, let us keep our promise.
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
