Famous quotes containing the words colour, production and/or animals:

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

    ... this dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.
    Jane Addams (1860–1935)

    The struggle alone pleases us, not the victory. We love to see animals fighting, not the victor raving over the vanquished.... It is the same in gambling, and the same in the search for truth.... We never seek things for themselves—what we seek is the very seeking of things.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
