Famous quotes containing the words shy, younger and/or men:
“The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him. He is able, to a certain extent, to communicate his misery. He frightens other people as much as they frighten him. He acts like a damper upon the whole room, and the most jovial spirits become, in his presence, depressed and nervous.”
—Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
“‘Tis our fast intent
To shake all cares and business from our age,
Conferring them on younger strengths, while we
Unburdened crawl toward death.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There certainly men would live forever, and laugh at death and the grave.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
