Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or wallpaper:
“But the yellow antipodal Kangaroo, when she sits up,
Who can useat her, like a liquid drop that is heavy, and just
touches earth.”

“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
