Famous quotes containing the word walls:

    “But today I set the bed afire
    and smoke is filling the room,
    it is getting hot enough for the walls to melt,
    and the icebox, a gluey white tooth.
    I have on a mask in order to write my last words,
    and they are just for you....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
