Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or book:
“My Father, it is surely a blue place
And straight. Right. Regular.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
