Famous quotes containing the words color, vision and/or deficiency:

—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“All rejection and negation indicates a deficiency in fertility: fundamentally, if only we were good plowland we would allow nothing to go unused, and in every thing, event, and person we would welcome manure, rain, or sunshine.”
