Shy Younger Men

Famous quotes containing the words shy, younger and/or men:

    “I want mother’s milk,
    that good sour soup.
    I want breasts singing like eggplants,
    and a mouth above making kisses.
    I want nipples like shy strawberries
    for I need to suck the sky.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “If we are the younger, we may envy the older. If we are the older, we may feel that the younger is always being indulged. In other words, no matter what position we hold in family order of birth, we can prove beyond a doubt that we’re being gypped.”
    —Judith Viorst (20th century)

    ““... he’s helpless
    In ways that I can hardly tell you of.
    Sometimes he gets possessed to keep accounts
    To see where all the money goes so fast.
    You know how men will be ridiculous.
    But it’s just fun the way he gets bedeviled
    If he’s untidy now, what will he be?””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
