Boys Aloud

Famous quotes containing the words boys and/or aloud:

“By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.””
—Ron Taffel (20th century)

“Those expressions are omitted which can not with propriety be read aloud in the family.”
—Thomas Bowdler (1754–1825)
