Quotes
"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it." - Alice Walker
"Life is a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's okay though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!" - John Mayer
"I love fresh flowers, and I love to bring the outdoors in. A lot of my focus with my clothes, my home decor and things I love to do are revolved around that. I think it's because I'm from the Midwest, and we had a lot of seasons. So in the summer, I want everything to be filled with greens and blues and yellows and white, and then in the winter, I love black and white and hunter green and burgundy." - Molly Sims
