Famous quotes containing the words gray and/or cloth:

    Don’t say, don’t say there is no water.
    That fountain is there among its scalloped
    green and gray stones,
    it is still there and always there....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
