“And just as music is the space between notes, just as the stars are beautiful because of the space between them, just as the sun strikes raindrops at a certain angle and throws a prism of color across the sky—so the space where I exist, and want to keep existing, and to be quite frank I hope I die in, is exactly this middle distance: where despair struck pure otherness and created something sublime.” WantBeautifulCertainDiesStarsSpaceSunSkyMiddleColorPureDespairMusic IsDistanceNotesStrikesFrankSublimeAngleSpace BetweenRaindropsOthernessPrisms Author:Donna Tartt

“It seems obvious that colors vary according to lights, because when any color is placed in the shade, it appears to be different from the same color which is located in light. Shade makes color dark, whereas light makes color bright where it strikes.” DifferentLightSeemsDarkColorObviousStrikesColourShadeVary Author:Leon Battista Alberti

“Haiti is the kind of place that grabs your heart, and never lets go ... When you arrive in Port-au-Prince, the first thing that strikes you is how vibrant the colors are. Buses, buildings, fences, clothing, everything is brightly painted in primary hues. On closer inspection, you see the reality behind this brightly colored landscape: a dark, grinding poverty, the worst in the Western hemisphere.” FirstsHeartKindRealityDarkBehindsPovertyWorstBuildingColorLetting GoWesternStrikesPrimariesLandscapeBusClothingsFencePortHaitiHueCaribbeanHemisphereInspectionNever Let Go Author:Andrea Mitchell
“It is a poor thing to strike our colors to God when the ship is going down under us; a poor thing to come to Him as a last resort, to offer up 'our own' when it is no longer worth keeping. If God were proud He would hardly have us on such terms: but He is not proud, He stoops to conquer, He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to Him.” IfsLastsTermPoorColorProudOffersStrikesShipsConquerResortsStoops Author:C.

“Anybody who's a mythology ... there's always a fear. That's why we don't like people whose skin color is different, whose eye slant is different, or whose worship is different. It makes them feel insecure. So we strike out. The thing that bothers me most about the Christian church today is that we spend our time confirming people in their own sense of wretchedness.” PeopleFeelsDifferentEyeTodayChristianChurchColorWorshipSkinsStrikesMythologyBotherOur TimeInsecureChristian ChurchWretchednessSkin ColorChurch Today Author:John Shelby Spong
