Charles Dickens

“Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment. To such an extent indeed that one day, finding myself at the deathbed of a woman who had been and still was very dear to me, I caught myself in the act of focusing on her temples and automatically analyzing the succession of appropriately graded colors which death was imposing on her motionless face.”
Claude Monet
“The nightingales are sobbing in / The orchards of our mothers, / And hearts that we broke long ago / Have long been breaking others.”
W. H. Auden
“When this closes down, a lot of them go up to Little Orchard (shelter in San Jose), or they'll go back to their own camps they have hidden around. Everybody's going to miss this place and the people. With the way Julie runs this place with respect and honesty ... It's like they're family.”
