Genius and virtue are to be more often found clothed in gray than in peacock bright.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Modesty is the color of virtue.
Genius is that in which the soul of a race bums at its brightest, revealing and preserving its vision; works of art are great and significant in proportion to the clarity and fulness with which they incarnate this vision.
I love the gray areas, but I like the gray areas as considered by bright, educated, courageous people.
If beauty isn't genius it usually signals at least a high level of animal cunning.
If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh useless.
Elegance is inferior to virtue.
The modes of expression of men of genius differ as much as their souls, and it is impossible to say that in some among them, drawing and color are better or worse than in others.
Do not expect the world to look bright, if you habitually wear gray-brown glasses.
The characters that have greys are the more interesting characters. The hero who sometimes crosses the line and the villain who sometimes doesn't are just much more interesting.
She is a peacock in everything but beauty.
