Yellow Power

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or power:

    a star
    called Wormwood rose and flickered, shattering
    bent light over the dead boiling up in the ground,
    the biting yellow their corrupted lives
    streaming to war, denying all our words.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    Just what is the civil law? What neither influence can affect, nor power break, nor money corrupt: were it to be suppressed or even merely ignored or inadequately observed, no one would feel safe about anything, whether his own possessions, the inheritance he expects from his father, or the bequests he makes to his children.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
