“If Godwanted humans to eat vegetables, he wouldn’t havecolored them green. Green things are moldy.”

“Green tablet. Green space. Green eyes. Green girl.”

“We'd never seen anything as green as these rice paddies. It was not just the paddies themselves: the surrounding vegetation - foliage so dense the trees lost track of whose leaves were whose - was a rainbow coalition of one colour: green. There was an infinity of greens, rendered all the greener by splashes of red hibiscus and the herons floating past, so white and big it seemed as if sheets hung out to dry had suddenly taken wing. All other colours - even purple and black - were shades of green. Light and shade were degrees of green. Greenness, here, was less a colour than a colonising impulse. Everything was either already green - like a snake, bright as a blade of grass, sidling across the footpath - or in the process of becoming so. Statues of the Buddha were mossy, furred with green.”

“Green means you're green with envy. Green means you wish you were me.”

“Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love.”
