More From George R. R. Martin

And talking about dark! you think dark is just one color, but it ain't. there're five or six kinds of black. some silky, some woolly. some just empty. some like fingers. and it don't stay still, it moves and changes from one kind of black to another. saying something is pitch black is like saying something is green. what kind of green? green like my bottles? green like a grasshopper? green like a cucumber, lettuce, or green like the sky is just before it breaks loose to storm? well, night black is the same way. may as well be a rainbow.
Moving Dark Night
So rests the sky against the earth. the dark still tarn in the lap of the forest. as a husband embraces his wife's body in faithful tenderness, so the bare ground and trees are embraced by the still, high, light of the morning. i feel an ache of longing to share in this embrace, to be united and absorbed. a longing like carnal desire, but directed towards earth, water, sky, and returned by the whispers of the trees, the fragrance of the soil, the caresses of the wind, the embrace of water and light. content? no, no, no - but refreshed, rested - while waiting.
Faith Morning Husband
She sat down on one of her grandmother's uncomfortable armchairs, and the cat sprang up into her lap and made itself comfortable. the light that came through the picture window was daylight, real golden late-afternoon daylight, not a white mist light. the sky was a robin's-egg blue, and coraline could see trees and, beyond the trees, green hills, which faded on the horizon into purples and grays. the sky had never seemed so sky, the world had never seemed so world ... nothing, she thought, had ever been so interesting.
Real Cat Grandmother
But, for all that, they had a very pleasant walk. the trees were bare of leaves, and the river was bare of water-lilies; but the sky was not bare of its beautiful blue, and the water reflected it, and a delicious wind ran with the stream, touching the surface crisply.
Beautiful Nature Blue
The obsession with gold, actually and politically, occurs among those who regard economics as a branch of morality. gold is solid, gold is durable, gold is rare, gold is even (in certain very peculiar circumstances) convertible. to believe in thrift, solidity and soundness is to believe in some way in the properties of gold.
Money Believe Gold
The leaves streamed down, trembling in the sun. they were not green, only a few, scattered through the torrent, stood out in single drops of green so bright and pure that it hurt the eyes; the rest were not a color, but a light, the substance of fire on metal, living sparks without edges. and it looked as if the forest were a spread of light boiling slowly to produce this color, the green rising in small bubbles, the condensed essence of spring. the trees met, blending over the road and the spots of sun on the ground moved with the shifting of the branches, like a conscious caress.

One thing i'd like to just keep on doing is i want to educate people about animal behavior and about autism. i've been doing autism talks for the last 20 years and there still are people out there that do not want to, they can't recognize that these sensory problems are real. that, for some of these kids when that fire alarm goes off, that really hurts the ears, it's a really real thing.
