City Boys

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or boys:

“The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky. Here in the coffin depths grow the everlasting flowers sent by telegraph.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)

“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)
