Famous quotes containing the words young woman, young and/or woman:
“A young woman, pretty, lively, with a harp as elegant as herself; and both placed near a window, cut down to the ground, and opening on a little lawn, surrounded in the rich foliage of summer, was enough to catch any mans heart. The season, the scene, the air, were all favourable to tenderness and sentiment.”

“There are two kinds of men, and only two, and that young man is one kind. He is high-minded, he is pure, hes the kind of man that the world pretends to look up to, and in fact despises. He is
the kind of man who breeds unhappiness, particularly in women.”
—Robert Bolt (19241995)
“Ive been complimented for my scorekeeping, and sometimes its hard to tell whether its a backhanded compliment or not. Are the men surprised when a woman does a good job as a judge?”
