Famous quotes containing the words wall and/or planks:
“A grimy fly can soil the entire wall and a small, dirty little act can ruin the entire proceedings.”

“No one lives in this room
without confronting the whiteness of the wall
behind the poems, planks of books,
photographs of dead heroines.
Without contemplating last and late
the true nature of poetry. The drive
to connect. The dream of a common language.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
