  i need a quote from that book. Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel.

  the beginning of every chapter, she quotes a paragraph or sentence or something from someone else.

  in one of those quotes, there is one about how all along you know a certain colour as [yellow or some colour] but one day someone tells you that it's not......
  errr....i remember it's something like that....
  i need that 'paragraph' =| pls? and thx....=p

  Chapter 4, "Broken"
  
  If you take someone's thoughts and feelings awaya, bit by bit, consistently, then they have nothing left, except some gritty, gnawing, shitty little instinct, down there, somewhere, worming round the gut, but so far down, so hidden, it's impossible to find. Imagine, if you will, a worldwide conspiracy to deny the existence of the colour yellow. And whenever you see yellow, they told you, no, that isn't yellow, what the fuck's yellow? Eventually, whenever you saw yellow, they would say: that isn't yellow, course it isn't, blue or green or purple, or. . . . You'd say it, yes it is, it's yellow, and become increasing hysterical, and then go berserk.
