The last member of the party to disembark was a girl of about nineteen, and it was the young man who stood at the boat's prow to lift her high and dry upon land. She gave him a brave and pretty smile of thanks, but no words passed between them.

It's a smile a girl could bring home to mother, if she had a mother; a smile a girl could pet like a pony, sip like a lemonade, hum like a popular tune; a smile a girl would feel safe with in a dark alley.

I think perhaps it would be useful if I repeat again to you the words which I used in the first speech when I became leader of our party [in 1911]..."No government of which I am a member will ever be a government of reaction..." That was my view then:...it is my view today, and if I thought the Unionist party was, or would ever become, a party of that kind, I would not be a member of it.

I know I don’t look like the kinda guy that knows much about women but believe or not I do actually have a girlfriend. Nothing wrong with her. She’s gorgeous. She’s blonde. She’s nineteen. I know nineteen’s a little bit young but I just fancied a fling with someone much younger one day. I didn’t think anything would come of it. Here we are, still together after five years.

Soren Aabye Kierkegaard

 

All her lovers have passed, her beautiful lovers have passed,
The young and eager men that fought for her arrogant hand,
And the only voice which endures to mourn for her at the last
Is the voice of the lonely land.
