Boulevard Beaumarchais

Famous quotes containing the words boulevard and/or beaumarchais:

“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)

“Drinking when we are not thirsty and making love at any time, madam, is all that distinguishes us from the other animals.”
—Pierre De Beaumarchais (1732–1799)
