Baker Boys

Famous quotes containing the words baker and/or boys:

    When the excessively shy force themselves to be forward, they are frequently surprisingly unsubtle and overdirect and even rude: they have entered an extreme region beyond their normal personality, an area of social crime where gradations don’t count; unavailable to them are the instincts and taboos that booming extroverts, who know the territory of self-advancement far better, can rely on.
    —Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)

    People always blame the girl; she should have said no. A monosyllable, but conventional wisdom has always been that boys can’t manage it.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
