Famous quotes containing the words picture and/or gray:
“I hate cheap pictures. I hate pictures that make people look like they’re not worth much, just to prove a photographer’s point. I hate when they take a picture of someone pickin’ their nose or yawning. It’s so cheap. A lot of it is a big ego trip. You use people as props instead of as people.”
—Jill Freedman (b. 1939)
“Nagging guilt is like gray paint splashed over life’s sparkling moments.”
—Sally Shannon (20th century)
