"When I was writing pretty poor poetry, this girl with midnight black hair told me to go on." ― Carl Sandburg Topic(s): Poetry More From Carl Sandburg "A baby is God’s opinion that life should go on." "I have always felt that a woman has the right to treat the subject of her age with ambiguity until, perhaps, she passes into the realm of over ninety. Then it is better she be candid with herself and with the world." "Let the gentle bush dig its root deep and spread upward to split the boulder."
