The Yellow Wallpaper

“It does not do to trust people too much.” “But I MUST say what I feel and think in some way — it is such a relief! But the effort is getting to be greater than the relief.” “I cry at nothing, and cry most of the time.” "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published in January 1892 in The New England Magazine.
