Water Colour

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or colour:

“A single monk carries his own bucket of water; two monks carry their bucket of water together; but when there are three monks, there is no water at all.”
—Chinese proverb.

“Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
