I'm getting really fond of the room in spite of the wallpaper. Perhaps because of the wallpaper.

There are things in that wallpaper that nobody knows about but me, or ever will.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go.
Oscar Wilde
Busy as a one-armed man with the nettle-rash pasting on wallpaper.
O. Henry
This wallpaper has a kind of sub-pattern in a different shade, a particularly irritating one, for you can only see it in certain lights, and not clearly then.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
There isn’t anything weird about my music. Weird is a skeleton in the closet, wearing a rubber mask with warts all over its nose, and all that kind of shit. That’s not what I do. The thing that makes my music unusual is that people only hear one kind of music all the time over the radio. It’s wallpaper to their lives. Audile wallpaper. There’s one acceptable beat and there are three acceptable chord progressions. There are five acceptable words: baby, love, tears, yat yat. Just because I don’t deal in those terms doesn’t mean I’m weird. So tell these people: I ain’t weird; I’m rational. I’m a person who can choose to write stuff like that, or choose to write stuff that includes all the notes on the piano played at once, followed by a cement truck driving over the piano, followed by a small atomic explosion. Nothing weird about that as long as you do it in a meaningful way.
