Famous quotes containing the words edward and/or grey:

    Histories of the world omitted China; if a Chinaman invented compass or movable type or gunpowder we promptly “forgot it” and named their European inventors. In short, we regarded China as a sort of different and quite inconsequential planet.

    That reverend Vice, that grey Iniquity, that father Ruffian,
    that Vanity in years.
