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)

    “When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you’re older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.”
    —I.F. (Isidor Feinstein)

    “The world is burdened with young fogies. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don’t know what they are conserving.”
    —Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
