Yellow Power

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or power:

    Don’t read much now: the dude
    Who lets the girl down before
    The hero arrives, the chap
    Who’s yellow and keeps the store,
    Seem far too familiar. Get stewed:
    Books are a load of crap.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1985)

    He admired the terrible recreative power of his memory. It was only with the weakening of this generator whose fecundity diminishes with age that he could hope for his torture to be appeased.

    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
