A part is always too limited to explain the whole. You might picture a worldview as trying to stuff the entire universe into a box. Invariably, something will stick out of the box. Its categories are too "small" to explain the world.

Nancy Pearcey

Life is like 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.

John Mayer

I love a cardboard coffin. Both Mummy and Daddy went off in cardboard coffins, painted - Daddy's was rifle green. Beautifully made.

Joanna Lumley

I have trouble describing my own style, since it's sort of like describing my own eye color or something.

Aimee Bender

My experience may be different than theirs, readers can identify with trying to save for retirement or their own kid's college fund. In truth, the name of the column, "The Color of Money," has less to do with my race than the fact that the color of money is green and it's green we all need to live a good life.

Michelle Singletary

Green how I love you green. Green wind. Green boughs. The ship on the sea And the horse on the mountain.

Federico Garcia Lorca

I have trouble actually describing myself because I'm always suspicious of people who start describing themselves. I'm like, "OK, why are you trying to tell me what you are?"

Zooey Deschanel

It's what's on the record not what labels on it. You know, that's like getting a box of cornflakes and eating the cardboard.

Elvis Costello

I don't come from a rich family - it's not like we lived in a cardboard box, but we didn't have a ton of money.

Jessica Lynch

I now know all shades of the color green, having spent 90 days staring at that green screen. I'll never forget that color, as long as I live.

Rob Letterman

I don't know that I could really define love. I can't . . . again, it's like trying to define what this creative force is. It's beyond my ability to really define. If I can define it, then it's not it. We're right back to that thing again.

Hubert Selby, Jr.

Trying to explain what community is to someone who's never experienced it is like trying to explain what an artichoke tastes like.

Dion DiMucci

Dark green is my favorite color. It's the color of nature and the color of money and the color of moss!

Leonardo DiCaprio

And talking about dark! You think dark is just one color, but it ain't. There're five or six kinds of black. Some silky, some woolly. Some just empty. Some like fingers. And it don't stay still, it moves and changes from one kind of black to another. Saying something is pitch black is like saying something is green. What kind of green? Green like my bottles? Green like a grasshopper? Green like a cucumber, lettuce, or green like the sky is just before it breaks loose to storm? Well, night black is the same way. May as well be a rainbow.
