The Grey

Famous quotes containing the word grey:

    Perhaps you have been busy
    Horse-whipping Sal or Lizzie,
    Stealing some poor man’s baby,
    Selling its mother, maybe.
    —Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)

    I put away my brushes; resolutely crucified my divine gift, and while it hung writhing on the cross, spent my best years and powers cooking cabbage. “A servant of servants shall she be,” must have been spoken of women, not Negroes.
    —Jane Grey Swisshelm, U.S. newspaperwoman, abolitionist, and human rights activist. Half a Century, ch. 8 (1880)
