Colour

Famous quotes containing the word colour:

“No one knows the colour of a flower
till it is broken.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“What a lovely thing a rose is!... Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But the rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

“The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love colour the most.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
