Famous quotes containing the words boys are and/or boys:

    And while I am talking to you mothers and fathers, I give you one more assurance. I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.

    All night in the unmade park
    After the railings and shrubberies
    The birds the grass the trees the lake
    And the wild boys innocent as strawberries
    Had followed the hunchback
    To his kennel in the dark.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
