“Before me floats an image, man or shade,Shade more than man, more image than a shade;For Hades' bobbin bound in mummy-clothMay unwind the winding path;A mouth that has no moisture and no breathBreathless mouths may summon;("Byzantium")”
“A man can drown in shades of grey.”
“A man's alter ego is nothing more than his favorite image of himself.”
“I'm intoxicated with this man, my man, my Fifty Shades.”
“Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with shades of deeper meaning.”
“She knew then that white was more than a color: It was a cold, pale shade of understanding that seems to take all of your hope away.”
