“You can blend in in the country;
You can stand out in the fashion world
Being invisible to a white tail and irresistible to a redneck girl.
Camouflage, Camouflage
Oh you're my favorite color Camouflage.”

Brad Paisley (1972) American country music singer

Camouflage, written by Chris DuBois, Kelley Lovelace, and Brad Paisley.

“As human voice and instrument blend in one harmony, as human soul and body blend in each act of feeling, thought, or speech, so, as far as we can know, divinity and humanity act together in the thought and heart and act of the one Christ.”

Archibald Alexander Hodge (1823–1886) American Presbyterian leader

Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 56.
