Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or color:

    “The prime purpose of being four is to enjoy being four—of secondary importance is to prepare for being five.”
    —Jim Trelease (20th century)

    “Painting seems to be to the eye what dancing is to the limbs. When that has educated the frame to self-possession, to nimbleness, to grace, the steps of the dancing-master are better forgotten; so painting teaches me the splendor of color and the expression of form, and as I see many pictures and higher genius in the art, I see the boundless opulence of the pencil, the indifferency in which the artist stands free to choose out of the possible forms.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
