Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or middle:
“There arent any good, brave causes left. If the big bang does come, and we all get killed off, it wont be in aid of the old-fashioned grand design. Itll just be for the Brave New-nothing-very-much-thank-you. About as pointless and inglorious as stepping in front of a bus. No, theres nothing left for it, me boy, but to let yourself be butchered by the women.”

—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
