City Boy

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or boy:

“What life is best?
Courts are but only superficial schools
To dandle fools:
The rural parts are turned into a den
Of savage men:
And where ‘s a city from all vice so free,
But may be termed the worst of all the three?”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

“He said he couldn’t make the boy believe
He could find water with a hazel prong—
Which showed how much good school had ever done him.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
