Never underestimate the power of a fresh coat of white paint.

Jeremiah Brent

I realize that I've had Ian Van Dahl: 'Castles in the Sky,' the Ibiza jam, periodically stuck in my head for years, like years of my life. Every now and then 'Castles in the Sky' will just happen. Maybe that's some sort of indication that it's actually my favorite song of all time.

Oneohtrix Point Never

Each generation must get on the same old merry-go-round, only disguised in a fresh coat of paint.

Katherine Anne Porter

The U.N. must be a good steward of the funds entrusted to it. Abuse and waste are therefore not a mere public relations problem. Institutional reform is not a one-off event, like applying a fresh coat of paint.

Paul Kagame

Think of your husband as a house. You are allowed to give him a fresh coat of paint and change out the furniture now and then. But if you're constantly trying to pour a new foundation or replace the roof, you're in serious trouble.

Peter Scott

When someone wants to freshen up their home a bit, and they don't want to spend a ton of money on construction, I always tell them to start off with paint. A fresh coat can really change the whole look of a home.

You don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky

Banksy

When I was a kid, my mom once told me that God was an artist and how on occasion He’d throw a bucketful of paint across the sky for us all to see. I asked her why the paint disappeared by morning, and she told me that if the sky was always like that we might take it for granted. I suppose she was right. Maybe that’s what war is all about—so we can appreciate times of peace.

Kristina McMorris

The artist, busy and unsettled, can find a moment's peace - and even whole-being rejuvenation - by quietly attuning to a red sky, a gray sky, a black sky, a blue sky.

Eric Maisel

How do you paint yellow wheat against a yellow sky? You paint it jet black.

Ben Shahn

Originality in literature is only a new coat of paint on an old house.

Austin O'Malley

At my death paint my body with red paint and plunge it into fresh water to be restored back to life, otherwise my bones will be turned into stone and my joints into flint in my grave, but my spirit will rise

Crazy Horse

Life itself is just a thin coat of paint on the planet, and we hold the paintbrush.

Daniel Dennett

When I paint green, it doesn't mean grass; when I paint blue, it doesn't mean sky.

Henri Matisse

Most artists look for something fresh to paint; frankly I find that quite boring. For me it is much more exciting to find fresh meaning in something familiar.
