Young Men

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or men:

    her young years bungle past
    their same marriage bed
    and she wishes him cripple, or poet,
    or even lonely, or sometimes,
    better, my lover, dead.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    There are men from whom nature or some peculiar destiny has removed the cover beneath which we hide our own madness. They are like thin-skinned insects whose visible play of muscles seem to make them deformed, though in fact, everything soon turns to its normal shape again.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
