When I gaze at a sunset sky and spend hours contemplating its marvelous ever-changing beauty, an extraordinary emotion overwhelms me. Nature in all its vastness is truthfully reflected in my sincere though feeble soul.
- Achille-Claude Debussy
The gray-green stretch of sandy grass,
Indefinitely desolate;
A sea of lead, a sky of slate;
Already autumn in the air, alas!
One stark monotony of stone,
The long hotel, acutely white,
Against the after-sunset light
Withers gray-green, and takes the grass's tone.
- Color Studies. At Dieppe (1895) - Arthur William Symons
I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.
- Frida Kahlo
The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear,
I've seen that road before it always leads me here,
Leads me to your door.
- "The Long and Winding Road" from Let It Be (1970)
