Coat Colors

Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or colors:

“An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Adultery is the vice of equivocation.
It is not marriage but a mockery of it, a merging that mixes love and dread together like jackstraws. There is no understanding of contentment in adultery.... You belong to each other in what together you’ve made of a third identity that almost immediately cancels your own. There is a law in art that proves it. Two colors are proven complimentary only when forming that most desolate of all colors—neutral gray.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
