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)

    When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.
    Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
