Gray Young

Famous quotes containing the words gray and/or young:

“One way to do it might be by making the scenery penetrate the automobile. A polished black sedan was a good subject, especially if parked at the intersection of a tree-bordered street and one of those heavyish spring skies whose bloated gray clouds and amoeba-shaped blotches of blue seem more physical than the reticent elms and effusive pavement. Now break the body of the car into separate curves and panels; then put it together in terms of reflections.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“There was a young lady of Ryde
Who was carried far out by the tide.
Cried a man-eating shark,
“How’s this for a lark?
I knew that the Lord would provide.””
—Anonymous.
