“… hot pink with a star done in rainbow rhinestones on the front. It was god-awful.
I bought it.”

“They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
and a swinging hot spot.”

“I think that I still have it in my heart someday to paint a bookshop with the front yellow and pink in the evening… like a light in the midst of the darkness.”

“The true harvest of my life is intangible - a little star dust caught, a portion of the rainbow I have clutched.”

“Einstein was wrong! I"M the speed of like CRACKING through shivery rainbows and GOD the sky whirls and withers like a melting RAINBOW!”

“Oh, God of Dust and Rainbows,
Help us to see
That without the dust the rainbow
Would not be.”

“If you were the sky, I would unfurl myself in you, as a rainbow of colors yet unseen. I would become oceans of stars in your night.”

“I mean, if I had a piccolo in front of me I would probably figure out how to play ‘Hot Cross Buns’ or something.”

“I sure do like the color brown. And pink. Pink and brown. If I had to choose, pink would lose.”

“But here there was only hot swing music and liquor, dance halls, ban, and movies, and sex that hung in the gloom like a chandelier and flooded the world with brief, deceptive rainbows.”
