Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or book:

    “Come unto these yellow sands,
    And then take hands.
    Curtsied when you have and kissed
    The wild waves whist,
    Foot it featly here and there;
    And, sweet sprites, the burden bear.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    —John Berger (b. 1926)
