Young Woman

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or woman:

“Consider his life which was valueless
In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
On the death of one so young and so silly
Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

“There’s not a woman turns her face
Upon a broken tree,
And yet the beauties that I loved
Are in my memory....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
