Angry Young

Famous quotes containing the words angry and/or young:

    If I refuse
    My study for their politique,
    Which at the best is trick,
    The angry Muse
    Puts confusion in my brain.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
