Markus Zusak
“***A SMALL THEORY***
People observe the colors of a day only at its beginnings and its ends, but to me it's quite clear that a day merges through a multitude of shades and intonations, with each passing moment. A single hour can consist of thousands of different colors. Waxy yellows, cloud-spat blues. Murky darknesses. In my line of work, I make it a point to notice them. ”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

Pablo Picasso
“Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? No. Just as one can never learn how to paint.”
Pablo Picasso

Jane Austen
“It isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do.”
Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

Jack Kerouac
“Soon it got dusk, a grapy dusk, a purple dusk over tangerine groves and long melon fields; the sun the color of pressed grapes, slashed with burgandy red, the fields the color of love and Spanish mysteries.”
Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Jane Austen
“It is happy for you that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are they the result of previous study?”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
