Young Woman

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or woman:

    Everybody hates a prodigy, detests an old head on young shoulders.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)

    Happy a while in Paradise they lay;
    But quickly woman longed to go astray:
    Some foolish new adventure needs must prove,
    And the first devil she saw, she chang’d her love:
    To his temptations, lewdly she inclined
    Her soul, and, for an apple, damn’d mankind.
    Thomas Otway (1652–1685)
