Signal Head

Famous quotes containing the words signal and/or head:

“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)

“No head knows where its rest is
Or may lie down with reason
When war’s usurping claws
Shall take heart escheat....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
