Famous quotes containing the words young and/or boys:
“It’s all that the young can do for the old, to shock them and keep them up to date.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“I see you boys of summer in your ruin.
Man in his maggot’s barren.
And boys are full and foreign in the pouch.
I am the man your father was.
We are the sons of flint and pitch.
O see the poles are kissing as they cross.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
