Blue Ribbon Schools

Famous quotes containing the words blue, ribbon and/or schools:

    Tommy is three and when he’s bad
    his mother dances with him.
    She puts on the record,
    “Red Roses for a Blue Lady”
    and throws him across the room.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    perpetually crouched, quivering, upon the
    sternly allotted sandpile
    Mhow silently
    emit a tiny violet flavoured nuisance: Odor?

    o no.
    comes out like a ribbon lies flat on the brush
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)

    In truth, the legitimate contention is, not of one age or school of literary art against another, but of all successive schools alike, against the stupidity which is dead to the substance, and the vulgarity which is dead to form.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)
