Rounds Fired

Famous quotes containing the words rounds and/or fired:

“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)

“We cannot but pity the boy who has never fired a gun; he is no more humane, while his education has been sadly neglected.”
