Younger Sons

Famous quotes containing the words younger and/or sons:

    If we are the younger, we may envy the older. If we are the older, we may feel that the younger is always being indulged. In other words, no matter what position we hold in family order of birth, we can prove beyond a doubt that we’re being gypped.
    Judith Viorst (20th century)

    has Nature shown
    her household books to you, daughter-in-law,
    that her sons never saw?
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
