Young Men

Famous quotes containing the words young men, young and/or men:

    And Cumhal saw like a drifting smoke
    All manner of blessed souls,
    Women and children, young men with books,
    And old men with croziers and stoles.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I tell you old and young are better than tired middle-aged, nothing is so dead dead-tired, dead every way as middle-aged.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    America is neither free nor brave, but a land of tight, iron- clanking little wills, everybody trying to put it over everybody else, and a land of men absolutely devoid of the real courage of trust, trust in life’s sacred spontaneity. They can’t trust life until they can control it.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
