Golden/color

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or color:

    You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by. Yes, but some of them are golden only because we let them slip.
    —J.M. (James Matthew)

    Gradually I regained my usual composure. I reread Pale Fire more carefully. I liked it better when expecting less. And what was that? What was that dim distant music, those vestiges of color in the air? Here and there I discovered in it and especially, especially in the invaluable variants, echoes and spangles of my mind, a long ripplewake of my glory.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
