Grey Seals

Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or seals:

    So, instead of spending my strength quarreling with the hand, I would strike for the heart of that great tyranny.
    —Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)

    Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
