Famous quotes containing the word younger:

    I know not what the younger dreams—
    Some vague Utopia—and she seems,
    When withered old and skeleton-gaunt,
    An image of such politics.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A woman’s always younger than a man
    At equal years.

    “After my flame lacks oil, to be the snuff
    Of younger spirits, whose apprehensive senses
    All but new things disdain.”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
