Boy Quotes (page 31)

Katherine Grey was born with the power of managing old ladies, dogs, and small boys, and she did it without any apparent sense of strain. Agatha Christie
I hear Peeta's voice in my head. She has no idea. The effect she can have. Obviously meant to demean me. Right? But a tiny part of me wonders if this was a compliment. That he meant I was appealing in some way. It's weird, how much he's noticed me. Like the attention he's paid to my hunting. And apparently, I have not been as oblivious to him as I imagined, either. The flour. The wrestling. I have kept track of the boy with the bread. Suzanne Collins
Is this how you repay my goodness--with badness?” cried the boy. “Of course,” said the crocodile out of the corner of his mouth. “That is the way of the world. Alex Haley
L. M. Montgomery quote: "Our sacrifice is greater than his," cried Rilla passionately...."
Our sacrifice is greater than his," cried Rilla passionately. "Our boys give only themselves. We give them. L. M. Montgomery
The unicorns, led by costumed grooms, were behaving well about their horns, and the painted rhapsodies all round the cart were more than flattering while the pseudo-king, sceptred in ermine, was positively handsome, as well as resembling the real one quite a lot. The small boy acting as the Dauphin, was obviously his son. It was easy to guess that the angel and the other three children, demure on tasselled cushions, were also related. Reminded by the red heads before her, the Queen Dowager... Dorothy Dunnett
The girls were expected to grow up to be somebody's wife. They were also expeced to read and write, those being considered soft indoor jobs that were too fiddly for the boys Terry Prachett
Sam: I wonder if we'll ever be put into songs or tales. Frodo: [turns around] What? Sam: I wonder if people will ever say, 'Let's hear about Frodo and the Ring.' And they'll say 'Yes, that's one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn't he, Dad?' 'Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And that's saying a lot.' Frodo: [continue walking] You've left out one of the chief characters - Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. [stops and turns to Sam] Frodo: Frodo... J. R. R. Tolkien
When he rose and turned to go back the tarp was lit from within where the boy had wakened. Sited there in the darkness the frail blue shape of it looked like the pitch of some last venture at the edge of the world. Something all but unaccountable. And so it was. Cormac McCarthy
Willa Cather quote: "Schools are not meant to make boys happy, Ccile, but to teach..."
Schools are not meant to make boys happy, Ccile, but to teach them to do without happiness. Willa Cather
Oh, my dear boy, one mustn't expect gratitude. It's a thing that no one has a right to. After all, you do good because it gives you pleasure. It's the purest form of happiness there is. To expect thanks for it is really asking too much. If you get it, well, it's like a bonus on shares on which you've already received a dividend; it's grand, but you mustn't look upon it as your due.[The back of beyond] W. Somerset Maugham
Suzanne Collins quote: "I don't want to lose the boy with the bread."
I don't want to lose the boy with the bread. Suzanne Collins
How 'bout a cheer for all those bad girls? And all those boys that play that rock and roll? They love it like you love Jesus, It does the same thing to their souls. Tom Petty
Jonathan Lethem quote: "What age is a black boy when he learns he's scary?"
What age is a black boy when he learns he's scary? Jonathan Lethem
Do you like him much?' I told you I liked him a little. Where is the use of caring for him so very much: he is full of faults.' Is he?' All boys are. Charlotte Bronte
Watching him during the first several minutes of his delivery, Cecilia felt a pleasant sinking sensation in her stomach as she contemplated how deliciously self-destructive it would be, almost erotic, to be married to a man so nearly handsome, so hugely rich, so unfathomably stupid. He would fill her with his big-faced children, all of them loud, boneheaded boys with a passion for guns and football and aeroplanes. Ian Mcewan
