Famous quotes containing the words john m and/or john:

    Haste thee Nymph, and bring with thee
    Jest and youthful jollity,
    Quips and cranks, and wanton wiles,
    Nods and becks, and wreathed smiles,

    We like the idea of childhood but are not always crazy about the kids we know. We like it, that is, when we are imagining our own childhoods. So part of our apparent appreciation of youth is simply envy.
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)
