Dark Blue Base

Famous quotes containing the words dark, blue and/or base:

    Keep the home fires burning,
    While your hearts are yearning,
    Though your lads are far away
    They dream of home.
    There’s a silver lining
    Through the dark cloud shining;
    Turn the dark cloud inside out,
    Till the boys come home.
    Lena Guilbert Ford (1870–1916)

    Trees appeared in groups and singly, revolving coolly and blandly, displaying the latest fashions. The blue dampness of a ravine. A memory of love, disguised as a meadow. Wispy clouds—the greyhounds of heaven.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    It is a base thing for a man among the people not to obey those in command. Never in a state can the laws be well administered when fear does not stand firm.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
