Beware of the person who can’t be bothered by details.
~William Feather
Never neglect details. When everyone’s mind is dulled or distracted the leader must be doubly vigilant.
~Colin Powell
I’ve been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good.
~Barbra Streisand
Can anyone identify what this close up detail is part of???
“Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.”

Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? No. ~Pablo Picasso

My skin is kind of sort of brownish
Pinkish yellowish white.
My eyes are greyish blueish green,
But I’m told they look orange in the night.
My hair is reddish blondish brown,
But it’s silver when it’s wet.
And all the colors I am inside
Have not been invented yet.
~Shel Silverstein, “Colors”

It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object; beware of this stumbling block.

Colors are the smiles of nature. ~Leigh Hunt

Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon.
A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb.
And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one.
It would explode high in the air – explode softly – and send thousands,
millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth – boxes of
Crayolas. And we wouldn’t go cheap, either – not little boxes of eight. Boxes
of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and
copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And
people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and
cover the world with imagination. ~Robert Fulghum
