“You'll understand, I'm sure that I'm chasing the merest sliver of color. It's my own fault. I want to grasp the intangible. It's terrible how the light runs out. Color, any color, lasts a second, sometimes 3 or 4 minutes at most.” WantSometimesLightRunningLastsMy OwnMinutesColorTerribleFaultsChasingIntangible Author:Claude Monet
“Each minute bursts in the burning room,The great globe reels in the solar fire,Spinning the trivial and unique away.(How all things flash!

“The purple light or glow, which appears roughly fifteen or twenty minutes after sunset... looks like an isolated bright spot fairly high in the sky over the place the sun has set, and then it quickly expands and sinks until it blends with the colors underneath.” LooksLightSunSkyMinutesColorTwentiesSpotsSunsetIsolatedFifteenPurple Author:James Elkins
“We may say that feelings have two kinds of intensity. One is the intensity of the feeling itself, by which loud sounds are distinguished from faint ones, luminous colors from dark ones, highly chromatic colors from almost neutral tints, etc. The other is the intensity of consciousness that lays hold of the feeling, which makes the ticking of a watch actually heard infinitely more vivid than a cannon shot remembered to have been heard a few minutes ago.” KindMayHas BeensTwoFeelingsSoundDarkConsciousnessWatchesHeardMinutesColorShotsLaysLoudRememberedEtcIntensityVividDistinguishedLuminousCannons Author:Charles Sanders Peirce

“Women of color, particularly Black girls from economically challenged strati, we are told from the minute you start showing signs of being able to be impregnated: Don't get pregnant.

Don't talk to boys because you might get pregnant.” MightAbleGirlSexBlackBoysMinutesColorPregnantShortsBlack GirlShort Shorts Author:Staceyann Chin
“One of the tracks that I have is Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach - by the way, that's Bach's second son - Emanuel Bach's variations on "Le Folie." You'll definitely hear - I mean, I think if we listen to, say, the last couple of minutes of that track, there's a wide range of colors that the harpsichord is capable of. And I think, you know, that gives lie to the assumption that it doesn't have that kind of variety. And I think it very much speaks for itself.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayGivingKindMeanLastsLyingSpeakMinutesColorSonCoupleCapableTrackWideVarietyRangeAssumptionVariation Author:Mahan Esfahani
“Sure, being good at your job is really important, but in acting, so much of the decision's already made the minute you walk in the room because they're like, 'His hair's good or she's got the right skin color' or whatever.
