Girls

Famous quotes containing the word girls:

“For little boys are rancorous
When robbed of any myth,
And spiteful and cantankerous
To all their kin and kith.
But little girls can draw conclusions
And profit from their lost illusions.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

“... the girls who came at dawn
To pay a visit to the young child, and how, when he grew up to be a man
The same restive ceremony replaced the limited years between,
Only now he was old, and forced to begin the journey to the sun.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“Bored with the foolish things that girls must dream
Because their beds are empty of delight,”
—Roy Campbell (1902–1957)
