Oliver Baldwin

Famous quotes containing the words oliver and/or baldwin:

    My grandmother stood among her kettles and ladles.
    Smiling, in faulty grammar,
    She praised my fortune and urged my lofty career.
    So to please her I studied—but I will remember always
    How she poured confusion out, how she cooled and labeled
    All the wild sauces of the brimming year.
    —Mary Oliver (b. 1935)

    The South is very beautiful but its beauty makes one sad because the lives that people live here, and have lived here, are so ugly.
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)
