Win

Famous quotes containing the word win:

“When the manipulations of childhood are a little larceny, they may grow and change with the child into qualities useful and admire in the grown-up world. When they are the futile struggle for love and concern and protection, they may become the warped and ruthless machinations of adults who seek in the advantages of power what they could never win as children.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)

“All good fortune is a gift of the gods, and ... you don’t win the favor of the ancient gods by being good, but by being bold.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)

“Nothing is quite so horrifying and paralyzing as to win the Oedipal struggle and to be awarded your mother as the prize.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
