To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold - brothers who know now they are truly brothers.

A poem should not mean but be.

Archibald Macleish Poet

A world ends when its metaphor has died.

Archibald Macleish Poet

Freedom is the right to one's dignity as a man.

Archibald Macleish Poet

A poem should be wordless As the flight of birds.

Archibald Macleish Poet

The modern era of feminism is how you track that at its beginning. It manifested itself in crazy ways. Parents would try raising their daughters in blue rooms with GI Joe and try raising their sons in pink rooms with Barbie to see what would happen, and they were shocked.

Rush Limbaugh Talk Show Host

Being a die-hard Knicks fan, I remember hunting down these orange-and-blue Nikes that they only released in England. And I used to hunt for sneakers when I DJ'd in Japan. But then Nike flooded the market with a head-spinning array of color combinations and it just didn't seem cool anymore.

Mark Ronson Musician

I drew the duck blue because I've never seen a blue duck before and, to be honest with you I wanted to see a blue duck.

Adam Sandler Actor

Somebody comes to your house. You know they're coming, so it's not a surprise. And they give you an envelope that has your scenes in it. And they sit in the car outside for a half an hour while you read your scenes, then they ring your doorbell and you give your scenes back. Then you shoot the movie a few weeks later or something. The next time you see your scenes is the night before you start shooting. I never read the script [Blue Jasmine], so I didn't really know what it was about.

Alden Ehrenreich Actor

From yon blue heaven above us bent, The grand old gardener and his wife Smile at the claims of long descent.

Alfred Lord Tennyson Poet

The Berbers, among whom even today one finds light skins and blue eyes, do not go back to the Vandal invasions of the fifth century A.D., but to the prehistoric Atlantic Nordic human wave. The Kabyle huntsmen, for example, are to no small degree still wholly Nordic (thus the blond Berbers in the region of Constantine form 10 % of the population; at Djebel Sheshor they are even more numerous).
