Grey has no agenda. . . . Grey has the ability, that no other colour has, to make the invisible visible. ↗

All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites. ↗

It's good to let God pick a man for you. We don't do so well when we pick them ourselves. They end up lipsticks in a drawer, all those wrong colors you thought looked so good in the package. ↗

Here, in Lorrain's poisoned little jewel of a tale (“The Man Who Made Wax Heads”) the consummate achievement of decadent art is caught in miniature. The genius of the artist entangles perpetrators and victims in a sticky web of perverse delights, in which exploitation becomes collusion, the ripples of guilt spread outward, and the real criminal slips away. In the end, responsibility is lodged firmly with the consumer, forced – he must confess – by his own perverse desires, to buy into the values of this particularly black market. ↗

I take it, since you sought to change matters, I was the one you found boring. ↗

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for. Georgia O'Keeffe ↗

Na escola, a mediocridade vem regada à busca de novas teorias pedagógicas (normalmente com baixíssimo impacto ou possibilidade de verificação de suas premissas); na universidade, vem vestida de burocracia da produtividade e corporativismo de bando; na arte, nos discursos contemporâneos sobre a "destruição da forma". Modos distintos de "fazer nada" ocupando tempo e gerando institucionalização e papo-furado cheio de jargão técnico. ↗

How lucky, I thought, were people who had known from earliest childhood what they wanted to do. All the children in my grammar school, who said they wanted to be doctors, had grown up to become doctors. This was also the case apparently with firemen, veterinarians, songwriters, and race car drivers. I had opted for a kind of pure experience, which, as Doo-Wah had pointed out, is not usually something you get paid for. I did not want to write a book about it. I did not want to write so much as an article. I wanted to be left alone with my experience and go on to the next thing, whatever that was. ↗

Tot așa cum galbenul este intotdeauna asociat cu lumina, se poate spune și că albastrul aduce cu el și un principiu al întunericului. Această culoare are un efect special și aproape indescriptibil asupra ochiului. Pe scara culorilor este una puternică, însă de partea negativă, și la maximum de puritate este, cum s-ar zice, o negație stimulatoare. Aspectul său este deci un fel de contradicție între excitație și calm. ↗
