“White is associated with purity because the entire spectrum is functioning in unity. White is a healing color. White is appropriate for weddings because the unity of male and female symbolizes the unity of allness.”
Tae Yun Kim, The First Element: Secrets to Maximizing Your Energy

Roger Ebert
“If you have to ask what it symbolizes, it didn't.”
Roger Ebert
