“Vermilion alone could render the brilliant red of the tiles on the opposite slope. The orange of the soil, the harsh crude colors of the walls and greenery, the ultramarine and cobalt of the sky achieved an extreme harmony that was sensually and musically ordered.” SkyColorWallRedOppositesHarmonyExtremesBrilliantSoilHarshOrangeCrudeSlopesTilesGreeneryCobalt Author:Maurice de Vlaminck
“The opposite of humility is arrogance--the belief that we are wiser or better than others. Arrogance promotes separation rather than community.

“A window looks outside, but a painting should do the opposite - it should look inside of us. When I put them in the middle of the room, I attach the paintings at the top to the ceiling and on the bottom to the floor. I prefer this to just hanging them from the ceiling because it creates a place in a space, like a wall.” ShouldLooksSpaceRoomsMiddlePaintingWallWindowOppositesBottomCeilings Author:Pierre Soulages

“If I didn't have that deep grounding, it would be very easy for me to just be someone who is consumed with anger and hatred.

“Graffiti ultimately wins out over proper art because it becomes part of your city, it' s a tool; "I'll meet you in that pub, you know, the one opposite that wall with a picture of a monkey holding a chainsaw".

“A gunshot rang out, blasting a hole in the door. A crossbow quarrel zinged through the hole and stuck quivering into the opposite wall. Seth heard the rocking horse clattering down the staircase, the twang of bowstrings, and the overlapping beat of several other projectiles thudding against the door. "That was awesome," Seth told Kendra. "You're psychotic," Kendra replied.” DoorsHeardWallBeatsOppositesHorseStuckHolesQuarrelsPsychoticStaircasesOverlappingGunshotsCrossbowsProjectileRocking Horses Author:Brandon Mull
“Romeo wants Juliet as the filings want the magnet; and if no obstacles intervene he moves towards her by as straight a line as they. But Romeo and Juliet, if a wall be built between them, do not remain idiotically pressing their faces against its opposite sides like the magnet and the filings with the card. Romeo soon finds a circuitous way, by scaling the wall or otherwise, of touching Juliet's lips directly. With the filings the path is fixed; whether it reaches the end depends on accidents. With the lover it is the end which is fixed, the path may be modified indefinitely.” IfsWayWantLifeMayEndsFacesMovingSidesLinesPathWallDependsLoversBuiltOppositesLipsObstaclesAccidentsCardsFixedTouchingMagnetJulietFiling Book:The Principles of Psychology Source: The Principles of Psychology
“The only way to meet affliction is to pass through it solemnly, slowly, with humility and faith, as the Israelites passed through the sea.
