Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or steel:

    ““Things as they are
    Are changed upon the blue guitar.””
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The complaint ... about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernes, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.”
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
