6th Earl Grey

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or grey:

    To write anything tolerable, the mind must be in a natural, proper disposition; provocatives, in that case, as well as in another, will only produce miserable, abortive performances.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Of an old King in a story
    From the grey sea-folk I have heard,
    Whose heart was no more broken
    Than the wings of a bird.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
