Standard Gray Console

Famous quotes containing the words standard, gray and/or console:

    I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God’s will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

    I had a good talk with Alcott this afternoon. He is certainly the youngest man of his age we have seen,—just on the threshold of life. When I looked at his gray hairs, his conversation sounded pathetic; but I looked again, and they reminded me of the gray dawn.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Lonely people console themselves with self-absorption or curiosity.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
