Famous quotes containing the words laughing and/or boy:

    But can see better there, and laughing there
    Pity the giants wallowing on the plain.
    ...
    Pygmies expand in cold impossible air,
    Cry fie on the giantshine, poor glory which
    Pounds breast-bone punily, screeches, and has
    Reached no Alps: or, knows no Alps to reach.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    My boy ... always try to rub up against money, for if you rub up against money long enough, some of it may rub off on you.
    Damon Runyon (1884–1946)
