Boulevard/books

Famous quotes containing the words boulevard and/or books:

“Arrive in the afternoon, the late light slanting
In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“My books and instruments shall be my company,
On them to look and practise by myself.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
