Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or cup:

    Each had his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart; and his friends could only read the title, James Spalding, or Charles Budgeon, and the passengers going the opposite way could read nothing at all—save “a man with a red moustache,” “a young man in grey smoking a pipe.”
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    I know it does make people happy, but to me it is just like having a cup of tea.
    Cynthia Paine (b. 1934)
