My shade in glory to the shades descends.”

“When you have lived as long as I have, the div replied, you find that cruelty and benevolence are but shades of the same color.”

“I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life.”

“I am: yet what I am none cares or knows,

I am the self-consumer of my woes,
They rise and vanish in oblivious host,
Like shades in love and death's oblivion lost:
And yet I am, and live with shadows tost”

“I'm partial to stilettos. Stilettos and long, flowing dresses are my new favourites. I like my dresses in lively shades these days, a teal or bright mix of orange and red.”

“Our life is our own to-day, to-morrow you will be dust, a shade, and a tale that is told. Live mindful of death; the hour flies.”

“Good and bad; shade and sunlight, there's but a hair's breath between them. It's all one in the end.”
