Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or book:

    For in this yellow grave of sand and sea
    A calling for colour calls with the wind
    That’s grave and gay as grave and sea
    Sleeping on either hand.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
