The chemical energy within them is a kind of stored sunlight originally accumulated by ancient plants. Our civilization runs by burning the remains of humble creatures who inhabited the Earth hundreds of millions of years before the first humans came on the scene. Like some ghastly cannibal cult, we subsist on the dead bodies of our ancestors and distant relatives.”

“Coal used to be a very dirty fuel but coal has become cleaner and cleaner over the decades. Clean coal now is quite clean. Clean coal now has the same emissions profile as natural gas. Clean coal can become cleaner still. We can take even more of the pollutants out of coal and I believe we should. Clean coal, I think, is the immediate answer to Canada's energy needs and the world's energy needs. There are hundreds of years available of coal supplies. We shouldn't be squandering that resource. We should be using it prudently.”

The source of it all.”

“Coat of Arms for Cuba since April 24, 1906. It was created by Miguel Teurbe Tolón and consists of a shield, crowned by a soft conical cap known as a Phrygian Cap, signifying freedom and the pursuit of liberty. The star in the middle of the cap denotes Cuba’s Independence. The same symbol is used on the seal of the United States Senate and the United States Department of the Army. The shield, supported by oak leaves on one side and laurel leaves on the other, is divided into three sections. At the top of the shield is the sun rising over Cuba, the key to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. The diagonal blue and white stripes represent the Cuban flag, and the royal palm, with the Sierra Maestra Mountains looming in the background, represents the country’s abundance.”

But with every room we paint, we are changing it to our own.
Piece by piece, wall by wall, we build
A place of peace for us all until
The house is a picture of the love we feel.”

“Cobalt is a divine color and there is nothing as fine for putting an atmosphere round things. Carmine is the red of wine and is warm and lively like wine. The same goes for emerald green too. It's false economy to dispense with them, with those colors. Cadmium as well.”

“Cobb was in a Klan group back in the 60's, and told me stories about how they used to throw live 'coons, possums, porcupines, or ganders into Black houses at night in attempts to run them out of Johnston and Harnett County. Cobb said that late one night, he and three or four other local rednecks snuck up on the house of one Black family, peered through the window and saw a huge Black woman sitting in front of a TV watching Gunsmoke, with a gang of children all around her.
The window was open and Cobb threw a live possum in her lap. Cobb said she squalled about the loudest and longest he'd ever heard, and jumped about four feet up in the air. Cobb then ran and jumped into a nearby ditch to observe what would happen next, and it wasn't long before they saw the Black woman bust out of the back door and run across a cotton field with a trail of children behind. Cobb said she was as wide as three rows of cotton, but fast and agile. She outran all the young'uns.”

“Cobria-se a Serra de flores. Correu primeiro um balbucio de primavera. Seria já a florada? Botões, aqueles pequenos sinais? No meio dos bosques escondidos entre os montes, o amarelo e o vermelho salpicavam, abriam no verde sorridente espanto. Em lugares mais resguardados, mais favorecidos, em breve surgia a neve florida cobrindo as pereiras e transformando, enriquecendo a paisagem. E logo também floriam os pessegueiros. Junto das favelas, nos parques dos sanatórios, rodeando os bangalôs, à beira das águas mansas, a florada em rosa e branco apontou finalmente, luminosa, irreal.
Perto do pequeno lago em que se debruçavam as pereiras alvas, encantadas, o pintor armou o cavalete. Tocados de primavera, os galhos roçavam a água que reproduzia a fila das árvores. Amarrada à margem a pequena canoa envernizada, vazia, estava juncada de flores que o vento carregara.”
