Kind Scores

Famous quotes containing the words kind and/or scores:

    To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.
    Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    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)
