Famous quotes containing the words young men, young and/or men:
“The young men float on their backs, their white bellies bulge to

They do not think whom they souse with spray.”

Either what death or love is well,
Yet I have heard they both bear darts,
And both do aim at human hearts:
And then again, I have been told,
Love wounds with heat, as death with cold;”
—Ben Jonson (15721637)
“Funny aint it. Here I am worrying about a woman. Men dont worry much about women when theyre around. But when it gets way off from home like we are now, and where he knows hes going a lot further away ... I mean thats when a woman gets workin in your mind. You reckon youre a fool for not noticin before how, how big a part of things they be. There aint nothin like seein a womans face.”
—Dudley Nichols (18951960)
