Grey Matter Volumes

Famous quotes containing the words grey, matter and/or volumes:

“There is grey in your hair.
Young men no longer suddenly catch their breath
When you are passing;
But maybe some old gaffer mutters a blessing
Because it was your prayer
Recovered him upon the bed of death.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“No matter how close thought sticks to the actual, it follows its own rules.”

He will be but a walking dictionary:
A mere articulate clock.”
