Youngest

Famous quotes containing the word youngest:

“Typically, the hero of the fairy tale achieves a domestic, microcosmic triumph, and the hero of myth a world-historical, macrocosmic triumph. Whereas the former—the youngest or despised child who becomes the master of extraordinary powers—prevails over his personal oppressors, the latter brings back from his adventure the means for the regeneration of his society as a whole.”
—Joseph Campbell (1904–1987)

“The youngest stood upon a stane,
The eldest cam and push’d her in.”
—Unknown. Binnorie; or, The Two Sisters (l. 15–16)

“We are none of us infallible—not even the youngest of us.”
—William Hepworth Thompson (1810–1886)
