Famous quotes containing the words boys and/or town:

    Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable
    dollars! Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in
    armies! Old men weeping in the parks!
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    You should study the Peerage, Gerald. It is the one book a young man about town should know thoroughly, and it is the best thing in fiction the English have ever done.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
