Famous quotes containing the words signal and/or troop:
“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)
“Old soldiers, Miss Dandridge. Someday youll learn how they hate to give up. Captain of a troop one day, every mans face turned toward ya. Lieutenants jump when I growl. Now tomorrow, Ill be glad if the blacksmith asks me to shoe a horse.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
