Young Male Slave

Famous quotes containing the words young, male and/or slave:

    She saw
    her five young children

    Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    For what Harley Street specialist has time to understand the body, let alone the mind or both in combination, when he is a slave to thirteen thousand a year?
