City Boy

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or boy:

“The language of the younger generation ... has the brutality of the city and an assertion of threatening power at hand, not to come. It is military, theatrical, and at its most coherent probably a lasting repudiation of empty courtesy and bureaucratic euphemism.”
—Elizabeth Hardwick (b. 1916)

“She liked the blue drapes. They made a star
At the angle. A boy in leather moved in.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
