I want to use colours that complement each other, that cause each other to shine brilliantly, that complete each other like a man and a woman.
Vincent van Gogh Quotes

Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
Red meat is NOT bad for you. Now blue-green meat, THAT'S bad for you!
Tommy Smothers
To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold.
Archibald MacLeish (1892 - 1982)
Artists can color the sky red because they know it's blue. Those of us who aren't artists must color things the way they really are or people might think we're stupid.
Jules Feiffer (1929 - )
He wrapped himself in quotations- as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors.
Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936)
With a stop light, green means 'go' and yellow means 'slow down'. With a banana, however, it is quite the opposite. Yellow means 'go', green means 'whoa, slow down', and red means 'where the heck did you get that banana?'
Mitch Hedberg (1968 - 2005)
The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be.

A hedge between keeps friendship green.
German Proverb
Life... is like a grapefruit. It's orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast.
Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001)
There is no joy in a life that is all information. There is no 'juice' to that kind of life. No sweetness, no color. Like trading a beautiful golden-ripe orange for a stalk of whithered broccoli.
Tish Grier, love and sex and dreams, 04-15-06
Where does the violet tint end and the orange tint begins? Distinctly we see the difference of the colors, but where exactly does the one first blending enter into the other. So with sanity and insanity.
Herman Melville (1819 - 1891)
Though one should be prepared to vomit rather frequently and disport with pink elephants and assorted grotesqueries while trying often unsuccessfully to make one's way to the toilet.
William F. Buckley Jr. - in response to previous statement
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
Come unto these yellow sands,
And then take hands:
Courtsied when you have, and kiss'd
The wild waves whist.
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "The Tempest", Act 1 scene 2
I see America, not in the setting sun of a black night of despair ahead of us, I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God. I see great days ahead, great days possible to men and women of will and vision.
Carl Sandburg (1878 - 1967)
A suspicious mind always looks on the black side of things.
Publilius Syrus (~100 BC)

May I never miss a sunset or a rainbow because I am looking down.
Sara June Parker Every crowd has a silver lining.
Phineas Taylor Barnum (1810 - 1891)
When griping grief the heart doth wound,
and doleful dumps the mind opresses,
then music, with her silver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress.
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold.
Bob Marley (1945 - 1981), From "Zion Train" lyrics.
Beauty is a form of genius--is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
O words of love, O words divine!
The silver thought, the golden line!
Of all men's words, there's none so fine,
As these three words: 'I've got mine!'
Hagar the Horrible

Thomas Dekker (1572 - 1632)
Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Henry Miller (1891 - 1980)
Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Henry Miller (1891 - 1980)

All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost.
J. R. R. Tolkien (1892 - 1973), The Fellowship of the Ring, 1954

Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
Leo Tolstoy (1828 - 1910)
Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze.
Elinor Glyn
Beauty isn't something on the outside. It's your insides that count! You gotta eat green stuff to make sure you're pretty on the inside.

Sharon Salzberg
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
Jean Houston
Our days are a kaleidoscope. Every instant a change takes place in the contents. New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every sort. Nothing ever happens twice alike. The most familiar people stand each moment in some new relation to each other, to their work, to surrounding objects. The most tranquil house, with the most serene inhabitants, living upon the utmost regularity of system, is yet exemplifying infinite diversities.
Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
