Famous quotes containing the word younger:

    “A woman’s always younger than a man
    At equal years.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both public and private, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings. Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.”
    —Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    “Ah, but I was so much older then,
    I’m younger than that now.”
    —Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
