I wish they would use English instead of Greek words. When I want to know why a leaf is green, they tell me it is coloured by chlorophyll, which at first sounds very instructive but if they would only say plainly that a leaf is coloured green by a thing which is called green leaf, we should see more precisely how far we had got.
John Ruskin

Our experience is coloured through and through by books and plays and the cinema, and it takes patience and skill to disentangle the things we have really learned from life for ourselves.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Unless you're living on the street and surviving on a diet of discarded turkey drumsticks, there's no point in being gloomy. We've spent too long trying to cheer ourselves up by spending money on brightly coloured things we don't really need. We've stopped using our imaginations.
Jarvis Cocker

I see a poem as a multi-coloured strip behind peeling plaster, in separate, shining fragments.
Stanislaw Lem

Days are coloured bubbles that float upon the surface of fathomless nights.
Rabindranath Tagore

From the walls of Baidi high in the coloured dawn To Jiangling by night-fall is three hundred miles, Yet monkeys are still calling on both banks behind me To my boat these ten thousand mountains away.
Li Bai
Image
A candy coloured clown they call the sandman Tiptoes into my room every night Just to sprinkle stardust and whisper Go to sleep, everything is alright

Perhaps we shall also have to hold in check other coloured peoples who will soon be in their certain prime, and thus preserve the world, which is the world of our blood, of our children and of our grandchildren.

I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
