Alternate Powder Blue

Famous quotes containing the words alternate, powder and/or blue:

    Germany is a queer country: one can’t regard it dispassionately. I alternate between hating it thoroughly, stick, stock and stone, and yearning over it fit to break my heart. I can’t help feeling it a young and adorable country—adolescent—with the faults of adolescence.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    My little ‘bout-town gal has gone
    ‘Bout town with powder and blue dye
    On her pale lids....
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Oh, Scott, for people like you and me the world can be a wonderful place. The sky’s as blue as it is for the giants, the friends are as warm.
    Richard Matheson (b. 1926)
