Since this is the week for St. Patrick’s Day, I went looking for quotes about the word  “green”  (being a writer) and found some really unusual ones! (I’ll be  taking part in a St. Patrick’s Day blog hop/giveaway later in the week)

Green how I want you green. Green wind. Green branches.

F. G. Lorca

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.

Noam Chomsky

Green fingers are the extension of a verdant heart.
Russell Page

In essence the Renaissance was simply the green end of one of civilization’s hardest winters.
John Fowle

And of course the classic:

It’s not easy being green

Kermit the Frog
