Famous quotes containing the words ropes and/or gray:

    There is the old brute, too, the savage, the hairy man who dabbles his fingers in ropes of entrails; and gobbles and belches; whose speech is guttural, visceral—well, he is here. He squats in me.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    No rival will steal away my sure love; that glory will be my gray hair.
    Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
