Famous quotes containing the words grand, chapter and/or meeting:
“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.

No, theres nothing left for it, me boy, but to let yourself be butchered by the women.”
