Quotations for colour

Blushing is virtue's colour. [ Proverb ]

Human blood is all of a colour. [ Proverb ]

Good horses cannot be of a bad colour. [ Proverb ]

It is a bad cloth that will take no colour. [ Proverb ]

Cheerfulness is just as natural to the heart of a man in strong health as colour to his cheek. [ John Ruskin ]

In describing things, I always try to see the whole scene before beginning to write it, and specially to realise the colour of everything. [ Ada Ellen Bayly, a.k.a. Edna Lyall, English novelist and early feminist, The Art Of Authorship, 1891 ]

You must study to give colour by apt images, and warmth by natural passion and earnestness. The music of words and the cadence of sentences is a matter which depends on the ear. Above all things monotony in the form of the sentences is to be avoided; variety means wealth and always pleases. Condensation also ought to be particularly studied, and a loose, rambling, ill-compacted form of sentence avoided. [ John Stuart Blackie, The Art Of Authorship, 1891 ]
