City Boy

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or boy:

“I have developed a visionary modern lyric, and, for it, an idiom in which I can write lyrically, colloquially, and dramatically. My subject is city life—with its sofas, hotel corridors, cinemas, underworlds, cardboard suitcases, self-willed buses, banknotes, soapy bathrooms, newspaper-filled parks; and its anguish, its enraged excitement, its great lonely joys.”
—Rosemary Tonks (b. 1932)

“There was never any question with me as to which I would choose, my boy or my work. I had to have both.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
