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)
“In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both public and private, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings. Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“Karen: I never knew it could be like this. Nobody ever kissed me the way you do.
Sergeant Warden: Nobody?
Karen: No, nobody.
Sergeant Warden: Not even one? Out of all the men you’ve been kissed by?
Karen: Well, that would take some figuring. How many men do you think there’ve been?
Sergeant Warden: I wouldn’t know. Can’t you give me a rough estimate?
Karen: Not without an adding machine.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
