Gray

Famous quotes containing the word gray:

    Old and abandoned by each venal friend,
    Here H[olland] took the pious resolution
    To smuggle some few years and strive to mend
    A broken character and constitution.
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    No gray hairs streak my soul,
    no grandfatherly fondness there!
    I shake the world with the might of my voice,
    and walk—handsome,
    twentytwoyearold.
    Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    The immense majority of human biographies are a gray transit between domestic spasm and oblivion.
