Young Woman

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or woman:

“Riot in Algeria, in Cyprus, in Alabama;
Aged in wrong, the empires are declining,
And China gathers, soundlessly, like evidence.
What shall I say to the young on such a morning?—
Mind is the one salvation?—also grammar?—
No; my little ones lean not toward revolt.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

“What a woman says to her avid lover
Should be written in wind and running water.”
—Catullus [Gaius Valerius Catullus] (87–54 B.C.)
