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)

“All books are divisible into two classes: the books of the hour, and the books of all time.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
