Quote by Mary Little
A youth with his first cigar makes himself sick; a youth with his first girl makes everybody sick.
Summary
This quote humorously suggests that when a young person tries their first cigar, they may become physically ill from the experience; however, when a youth starts dating for the first time, their actions, behaviors or public displays of affection can become annoying or frustrating to others, causing a sense of unease or "sickness" among those around them. It contrasts society's differing reactions to these two instances, implying that romantic relationships can often garner more attention and disapproval than other potentially harmful activities.
