Quotes About Shades

A strange world in between--everything merges in soft shades--a colorful painting, harmonically fused in itself.

La memoria imprime en blanco y negro, los grises se pierden por el camino.
~ Isabel Allende
Cada uno escoge el tono para contar su propia historia; quisiera optar por la claridad durable de una impresión en platino, pero nada en mi destino posee esa luminosa cualidad.
