Shy Younger Men

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

    “I will be steel!
    I will build a steel bridge over my need!
    I will build a bomb shelter over my heart!
    But my future is a secret.
    It is as shy as a mole.”
    —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)

    “We black women must forgive black men for not protecting us against slavery, racism, white men, our confusion, their doubts. And black men must forgive black women for our own sometimes dubious choices, divided loyalties, and lack of belief in their possibilities. Only when our sons and our daughters know that forgiveness is real, existent, and that those who love them practice it, can they form bonds as men and women that really can save and change our community.”
    —Marita Golden, educator, author. Saving Our Sons, p. 188, Doubleday (1995)
