You can feel as brave as Columbus starting for the unknown the first time you enter a Chinese lane full of boys laughing at you, or when you risk climbing down in a Tibetan pub for a meal of rotten meat. – Ella Maillart
I always wanted to play a boxer because some of my favorite films, as a boy, were those great boxing movies, like ‘Raging Bull’, ‘Rocky’, ‘The Set Up’, ‘Fat City and Hard Times’. I just loved those films. – Holt McCallany

And so much depends, I told Augustus, upon a blue sky cut open by the branches of the trees above. So much depends upon the transparent G-tube erupting from the gut of the blue-lipped boy. So much depends upon the observer of the universe. – John Green
I’m so scared girls look at my breast implants and think, ‘To get boys, you need big boobs.’ I tell them, ‘Don’t get it done. Those fears go away. You develop other insecurities, but breasts aren’t one of them.’ I want to get them half-size. – Jenny McCarthy
When John Travolta had the opportunity to do The Boy In The Plastic Bubble, he brought me and a couple other people from the movie to just be the students and have some parts, because he wanted to help us out. I thought that was really sweet. – P. J. Soles
I learned the bad guys are not always bad, the good guys are not always good, and to quote Captain Barbossa, the parameters are like rules, mostly guidelines. And that it takes a little bit of bad boy to fight the evil in the world. –Terri Mitchell – Sherrilyn Kenyon
Some make you sing and some make you scream. One makes you wish that you’d never been seen. But there’s a shop on the corner that’s selling papier mache, making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay. If you want it, boys, get it here, thing. – David Bowie
I was going to be the best paper boy ever. I used my Sting-Ray bike and got the papers there after school. People know I porched everything. No roofs, no lawns. I stopped the bike and nailed it. And if I ever missed, I would go pick it up and do it right. – Gary Carter
In a partner I’m looking for an encyclopedia and a dictionary. A bit of the Boy Scouts Handbook. A person who is conscientious about the trail he leaves behind him. Love. Unconditional kindness. Basically, I’m looking for the qualities I revere in my friends. – Renee Zellweger
Between the innocence of boyhood and the dignity of manhood, we find a delightful creature called a boy….A boy is truth with dirt on its face, beauty with a cut on its finger, wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the hope of the future with a frog in its pocket. – Alan Beck
I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a ‘storybook marriage.’ Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or breast cancer. – Ann Romney
There are certain episodes that on the page I thought, “Oh boy, this is going to be the funniest episode.” And there are other ones that went in, fingers crossed, saying, “Oh well, let’s hope something good comes out of it.” Oftentimes, those ones wind up being the best ones. – Charlie Day
The pool was but a stone’s throw from the house, and I arrived there in a few minutes, only to find a boy disturbing the water by dredging it with a worm. Him I lured away with a cake of chocolate. . . . Every day I see the head of the largest trout I ever hooked, but did not land. – Theodore Gordon
The boy detective thinks, The only thing all men have in common with one another is their inherent capacity to make mistakes. He reasons, But there is wonder in the attempt, knowing we are all destined to fall short, but forgoing reason and fear time and time again so deliberately. – Joe Meno
Dictators can fix up their entire families in good jobs, in or around government, and often do. In democracies, such a practice is frowned upon. Privileged access to the corridors of power through family connections and a kind of old boys’ network, is also deemed an abuse of power, and so it is. – Jimmy Reid
I never was that boy who loved gangster films, but when I was growing up, I was obsessed with the detective Dick Tracy. It was one of my favourite movies as a kid, and he really inspired me. I would have loved to be part of that golden age of Hollywood in the 1940s. It made me want to become an actor. – Ryan Gosling
Ye youths and virgins, when your generous blood Has drunk the warmth of fifteen summers, now The loves invite; now to new rapture wakes The finish’d sense: while stung with keen desire The madd’ning boy his bashful fetters bursts; And, urg’d with secret flames, the riper maid, Conscious and shy, betrays her smarting breast. – John Armstrong
It’s the oldest story in the world. Boy loves girl. Boy loses girl. Boy gets girl back thanks to the unethical behavior of megalomaniacal mad scientists who never met a corpse they wouldn’t try to resurrect. Anyone coming within a hundred yards of my happy ending had better pray that they’re immune to bullets. – Shaun Mason – Mira Grant
I was never a pretty girl, so I wasn’t the one to get the boy. I used to cast myself as a good sport. Sometimes I wonder if I do that too much with roles I play, because if I’m absolutely truthful, I quite like being the best friend, or the supporting role, and actually I ought to gear-change and make myself the leading role. – Celia Imrie
Kids are told there are no differences between boys and girls. They are told there is no such thing ultimately as right and wrong. Values are relative. Truth is relative. Morality is defined by individual choice. If that isn’t a recipe for sexual harassment and other forms of sexual and physical abuse, I don’t know what it is. – Rush Limbaugh
Listen, boy, just ask the chef to make me a proper Full English Breakfast. You know, bacon, fried eggs, sausages, liver, grilled mushrooms and tomatoes, black pudding, kidneys, baked beans, fried bread, toast and served with strong English mustard, mind – none of this effete French muck – and a large mug of hot, strong Indian tea. – Bryan Talbot
First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her – for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys. – Queen Elizabeth II
Finally, I decided that the proper strategy was to stare back. Boys do not have a monopoly on the Staring Business, after all. So I looked him over and soon it was a staring contest. After a while the boy smiled, and then finally his blue eyes glanced away. When he looked back at me, I flicked my eyebrows up to say, I win. He shrugged – John Green
Adam wasn’t certain what came first with Blue–her treating the boys as friends, or them all becoming friends. It seemed to Adam that this circular way to build relationships required a healthy amount of self-confidence to undertake. And it was a strange sort of magic that it felt like she’d always been hunting for Glendower with them. – Maggie Stiefvater
[Ranger] “How’s your mental health?” he asked. “I heard about Soder.” [Stephanie] “I’m rattled.” “I have a cure.” Oh, boy. He put the truck in gear and headed for the exit. “I know what you’re thinking,” he said. “And that wasn’t where I was going. I was going to suggest work.” “I knew that.” He looked over at me and grinned. “You want me bad.” I did. God help me. – Janet Evanovich
The American ideal of sexuality appears to be rooted in the American ideal of masculinity. This idea has created cowboys and Indians, good guys and bad guys, punks and studs, tough guys and softies, butch and faggot, black and white. It is an ideal so paralytically infantile that it is virtually forbidden – as an unpatriotic act – that the American boy evolve into the complexity of manhood – James A. Baldwin
Glad it was you and not me,” Shane said, and offered Myrin a hand up. “Any brain damage?” “Since the bullet actually passed through his brain, then yes, idiot boy, there’s certainly brain damage,” Oliver said. “It will pass. His brain’s the least fragile thing about him.” “You say the nicest things,” Myrin said. He was slurring his words, and he threw an arm around Oliver’s neck. “Marry me. – Rachel Caine
Adolescence hits boys harder than it does girls. Girls bleed a little and their breasts pop out, big deal, but adolescence lands on a guy with both feet. . . . Your body is engulfed by chemicals of rage and despair, you pound, you shriek, you batter your head against the trees. You come away wounded, feeling that life is unknowable, can never be understood, only endured and sometimes cheated. – Garrison Keillor
From the night Buddy Willard kissed me and said I must go out with a lot of boys, he made me feel I was much more sexy and experienced than he was and that everything he did like hugging and kissing and petting was simply what I made him feel like doing out of the blue, he couldn’t help it and didn’t know how it came about. Now I saw he had only been pretending all this time to be so innocent. – Sylvia Plath
Brian De Palma was one of the rare directors who wanted us all to go to dailies. It was like a party. After shooting The Boy In The Plastic Bubble, we’d all walk over together, at like 5 or 6 o’clock, to the little theater. And we’d sit down and watch the dailies from like, the day before. And John Travolta, whenever I came onscreen, he was just laughing hysterically. He just thought I was a riot. – P. J. Soles
It had occurred to Sean once – on a bender about ten years before with some buddies, Sean and a bloodstream full of bourbon turning philosophical – that maybe they HAD gotten in that car. All three of them. And what they now thought of as their life was just a dream state. That all three of them were, in reality, still eleven-year-old boys trapped in some cellar, imagining what they’d become if they ever escaped and grew up. – Dennis Lehane
Don’t take this the wrong way,” Blue replied. Her cheeks felt a little warm, but she was well into this conversation and she couldn’t back down now. “Because I know you’re going to think I feel bad about it, and I don’t.” “All right.” “Because I’m not pretty. Not in the way Aglionby boys seem to lie.” “I go to Aglionby,” Adam said. Adam did not seem to go to Aglinoby like other boys went to Aglionby. “I think you’re pretty,” he said. – Maggie Stiefvater
From high Meonia’s rocky shores I came, Of poor decsent, Acoetes is my name, My sire was measly born: no oxen ploughed, His fruitful fields, nor in his pastures lowed, His whole estate within the waters lay’ With lines and hooks he caught the finny prey; His art was all his livelehood, which he Thus with his dying lips bequeathed to me: In streams, my boy, and rivers take thy chance; There swims’, said he, Thy whole inheritance. – Ovid
Basically for everything that comes out of Five Four, I’ve come up with the idea or changed it in some way. I’m also working with Putnam Accessory Group, a private label hat manufacturer. I’m in the process of re-branding a line they have called Chuck. It was mostly hats and bags, but I’m adding apparel and eyewear and whatever I feel like adding to turn it more into a brand. I’m supposed to be working with Pharrell on Billionaire Boys Club, but that’s on hold. – Mark McNairy
Tod’s eyes widened, and his irises swirled in tight twists of blue. “Well, I don’t see that I have much of a choice, considering that’s part of Reaper Law.” “There’s a Reaper Law?” “Of course. ‘A reaper is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous…'” He shrugged. “It gets boring after that. But this situation is clearly covered under the ‘helpful’ category.” I rolled my eyes. “I think that’s the Boy Scout law.” “They took it from us. But they left out all the good stuff. – Rachel Vincent
I do not doubt that our country will finally come through safe and undivided. But do not misunderstand me… I do not rely on the patriotism of our people… the bravery and devotion of the boys in blue… (or) the loyalty and skill of our generals… But the God of our fathers, Who raised up this country to be the refuge and asylum of the oppressed and downtrodden of all nations, will not let it perish now. I may not live to see it… I do not expect to see it, but God will bring us through safe. – Abraham Lincoln
The man has a curious inborn conviction of his own superiority which is quite unshakeable. All his life he has bullied and browbeaten those around him by his high-and-mightiness and his atrocious temper. As a boy he terrorized his entire family by his tantrums, when, if thwarted, he would throw himself on the floor and yell till he went blue in the face. It has been much the same ever since. Everyone’s terrified of his rages. He has only to start grinding his teeth, and people fall flat before him. – Anna Kavan
Here is The Boy with the Thorn in His Side, dying in your world. A man made monster with every human emotion, overdosed on worthlessness in a world that could never wrap it’s head around him (so don’t even try). When it’s all over just remember every single word you ever said was always just a bullet to his head. Bury him underground between friends and love – the only things that are gonna make it to the end with him. Look for his body buried beneath where the yellow weeds are growing and know he’s still living in his nightmares. – Pete Wentz
I was a welfare worker for the Indian Council for Child Welfare. I’ll tell you a story. Rajiv was only four years old at that time, and was going to kindergarten. One day the mother of one of his little friends came to see us and said in a sugary voice, ‘Oh, it must be so sad for you to have no time to spend with your little boy!’ Rajiv roared like a lion: ‘My mother spends more time with me than you spend with your little boy, see! Your little boy says you always leave him alone so you can play bridge!’ I detest women who do nothing and they play bridge. – Indira Gandhi
My dear boy, the people who love only once in their lives are really the shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect—simply a confession of failures. Faithfulness! I must analyse it some day. The passion for property is in it. There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up. But I don’t want to interrupt you. Go on with your story. – Oscar Wilde
There are at least two distinct meanings of ‘hot’: there is the, like, normal human definition which is that ‘this individual seems suitable for mating’. And then there’s the weird, culturally constructed definition of ‘hot’ which means, ‘that individual is malnourished and has probably had plastic bags inserted into her breasts’. Like, I think if you went back to the 18th century and asked a 15-year-old boy, ‘Would you like to marry a woman who has had plastic bags needlessly inserted into her breasts?’ that 15-year-old boy would probably be like … ‘What’s plastic?’ – John Green
If you’re gay, you’re gay. It’s my Dennis Miller theory of homosexuality shot through the movie “Boy and the Dolphin.” If you’re a 12-year-old boy and you’re watching the movie “Boy and a Dolphin” and a 27-year-old Sofia Loren crawls up out of the Aegean Sea after sponge diving, she’s standing there in the deck of the boat in a see-through gauze top, rivulets of water dripping off her torso onto the deck of the boat. If you’re a 12-year-old boy and you’re watching that and you still want to make it with the captain of the boat, you’re gay. You can’t fight that. So it is what it is. – Bill O’Reilly
