Yellow Background

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or background:

“iris and lilac, birds
birds, yellow flowers
white flowers, the Diesel
does not let up dragging
the plow”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)

“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
