Citas sobre el color - Página 10

• Debido a que durante milenios hemos planteado al mundo exigencias morales, estéticas, religiosas, lo hemos contemplado con deseo ciego, pasión o miedo, y nos hemos abandonado a los malos hábitos del pensamiento ilógico, este mundo se ha vuelto gradualmente tan maravillosamente abigarrado, espantoso, significativo, lleno de alma, que ha adquirido color - pero nosotros hemos sido los coloristas: es el intelecto humano el que ha hecho aparecer las apariencias y ha transportado a las cosas sus erróneas concepciones básicas.

  Friedrich Nietzsche

• Backlock, a poet blind from his birth, could describe visual objects with accuracy; Professor Sanderson, who was also blind, gave excellent lectures on color, and taught others the theory of ideas which they had and he had not. In the social sphere these gifted ones are mostly women; they can watch a world which they never saw, and estimate forces of which they have only heard. We call it intuition.

• Con suelo de vinilo azul, revestimiento verde pálido, paredes rosas, techo amarillo y cortinas con motivos de cigüeñas naranjas y blancas, la sala de espera de los futuros padres desprendía la energía negativa de la sobrecarga de color. Habría servido perfectamente como escenario de una pesadilla sobre un presentador de un programa infantil que llevaba una vida secreta como asesino con hacha. El payaso fumador empedernido no mejoró el ambiente.

• If only the scientific experts could come up with something to get it out of our minds. One cup of fixit fizzle that will lift the dirt from our lives, soften our hardness, protect our inner parts, improve our processing, reduce our yellowing and wrinkling, improve our natural color, and make us sweet and good.

• The need of black conservatives to gain the respect of their white peers deeply shapes certain elements of their conservatism. In this regard, they simply want what most people want, to be judged by the quality of their skills, not by the color of their skin. But the black conservatives overlook the fact that affirmative action policies were political responses to the pervasive refusal of most white Americans to judge black Americans on that basis.

• ... and we are not alone in this slavery. there are millions of others throughout the world, of all colors and races and creeds. this we must remember. there are many of our people who hate the poor of the white race, and they hate us. the people in this town living by the river who work in the mills. people who are almost as much in need as we are ourselves. this hatred is a great evil, and no good can ever come from it... the injustice of need must bring us all together and not separate us. we must remember that we all make the things of this earth of value because of labor.

• Now I am in the place I call this wide wide Heaven because it includes all my simplest desires but also the most humble and grand. The word my grandfather uses is comfort. So there are cakes and pillows and colors galore, but underneath this more obvious patchwork quilt are places like a quiet room where you can go and hold someone's hand and not have to say anything. Give no story. Make no claim. Where you can live at the edge of your skin for as long as you wish.

"Don't you love weather and the colors at different times of the day, and all the sounds and noises like children screaming in the next lot, and automobile horns and little bands playing in the street and the smell of food cooking?"
