Famous quotes containing the words beach, boys and/or version:

    “The beach was crowded,
    people tossed like ripe corn,
    buttering themselves as they went
    and on the dunes thousands of crabs,
    moved their yellow eyes.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Unfortunately there is still a cultural stereotype that it’s all right for girls to be affectionate but that once boys reach six or seven, they no longer need so much hugging and kissing. What this does is dissuade boys from expressing their natural feelings of tenderness and affection. It is important that we act affectionately with our sons as well as our daughters.”
    —Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    “Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 5:15.

    See Exodus 22:8 for a different version of this fourth commandment.
