Famous quotes containing the words boy and/or scouts:

    I am both a public and a private school boy myself, having always changed schools just as the class in English in the new school was taking up Silas Marner, with the result that it was the only book in the English language that I knew until I was eighteen—but, boy, did I know Silas Marner!
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    The medieval town, with frieze
    Of boy scouts from Nagoya?
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
