Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or book:

    “The twelve-thousand-day honeymoon
    is over.
    Hands crumble like clay,
    the mouth, its bewildered tongue,
    turns yellow with pain....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “It is remarkable that, notwithstanding the universal favor with which the New Testament is outwardly received, and even the bigotry with which it is defended, there is no hospitality shown to, there is no appreciation of, the order of truth with which it deals. I know of no book that has so few readers. There is none so truly strange, and heretical, and unpopular. To Christians, no less than Greeks and Jews, it is foolishness and a stumbling-block.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
