Gray Quotations | Page 2

I think this year is the year that small movies get attention because they deal with complexities, they go to the gray area. They deal with issues, and they ask questions; they don't really give resolution. That's the mood this year.

I was a handyman in an office building across from Penn Station for two entire summers while I was still in school and the summer after.

It appears that age-related cognitive changes are the result of combined influences on the gray matter and the white matter.

I was appointed by Governor Gray Davis to the Los Angeles Superior Court and by President Obama to the district court and then the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In securing the state court appointment, I think it really helped that I had some trial experience.

I am not going to respect ... gray hairs unless there is wisdom beneath them.

That was the catalyst for it. Obviously, we knew the governor differed from conservatives on some issues. But when he appointed Gray Davis' cabinet secretary as his chief of staff, the recall, the reform movement was RIP.

My blood pressure, my age, and it gave me gray hairs.

We were using Stingsilvers. I had an idea there were a few grays around. I wasn't fishing any particular structure. I was fishing in 55 feet of water and watching the depth-finder. When I saw fish on the screen, I was pretty sure they were gray trout.

That would be just what Davis needs. There is nothing Gray Davis would like more than to be able to talk about the recall as a nefarious plot by out-of-state Republicans.

Tradition and sports intertwine at West Point, where the Academy overlooks the Hudson River.

Tailgating at Buffalo Soldier Field is serious, with candelabras and champagne.

The proof is always in the pudding. He's got a great mind, an unusually good mind for a young horse. He'll relax. He's not a run-off. If he improves from a 2-year-old to a 3-year-old, he's got a chance. There's a little gray area there, whether he can run that far, mentally and physically.

The proof is always in the pudding. There's no question that as a two-year-old he was a good miler and beyond, and the road we took with him was the road to the Breeders' Cup, and that was one-turn races. There was no reason to try anything else. With a young horse, though, there's always that gray area if they can go that far, mentally or physically.

My mother used to say: 'It's not enough to be Hungarian. You still need a little talent, too.' To paraphrase her, its not enough to be conservative, you still need to have the brainpower to be a Supreme Court justice. And, if Harriet Miers is confirmed, she likely won't be in the same league with her colleagues in terms of gray matter.

Oh good gray head which all men knew!

If I see everything in gray, and in gray all the colors which I experience and which I would like to reproduce, then why should I use any other color?

There are a lot of gray areas. It doesn't really say in the statutes just how you can do it.

The only self-incriminating investigation that is considered valid is a plea of 'guilty as charged'. Since that will not be said concerning the Katrina debacle, the proposed process becomes a 'whitewash' or at least a 'light gray wash' and will not be seen as credible.

Though Gray Davis now apparently has finally taken my advice of last week and issued the executive order, his delay here -- as it has been in so many areas as the energy crisis and the budget crisis -- is absolutely shameful and intolerable.

You have to chalk this up as a quality start. That's what I don't understand. He seems like he's throwing so bad, but he's throwing great. That's the frustrating thing. That's why I'm getting gray hair. I don't understand why we can't get over the hump.

To be perfectly honest, absolutely. That's one thing about our sport: No matter what the rules are, if there's any gray anywhere, somebody is going to find a way to use it to their advantage.

What makes John a great head coach is he is very clear on what he wants and the direction he wants to go.

He knows what he wants and what he believes in, and that's the way we try to operate.

What's amazing is that you've got a situation where Schwarzenegger has become worse than Gray Davis. It's almost like a Schwarzenegger movie where the hero kills the villain -- and takes over his personality.

Common sense always speaks too late. Common sense is the guy who tells you ought to have had your brakes relined last week before you smashed a front end this week. Common sense is the Monday morning quarterback who could have won the ball game if he had been on the team. But he never is. He's high up in the stands with a flask on his hip. Common sense is the little man in a gray suit who never makes a mistake in addition. But it's always somebody else's money he's adding up.

The whole purpose ... is to eliminate as much of the gray area that we can.

It would be difficult to enforce because there's a lot of gray areas in relation to people's disposition to supporting unions or not, ... Let's say such a law is enacted. No. 1, how could you really prove whether someone is a salt or not? How could you ensure the company is not unfairly discriminating against people because of their views?

It was a case of us not showing up. I'll give credit to their pitcher, but we didn't show up as a team from the first pitch. We were lifeless. The better team by far was wearing gray today. The final score wasn't even that close a game. They believe that they're a good club. We played tonight like all we believe in is what we're reading.

We do push the gray areas. Everybody tries to get a competitive advantage. But he made it very clear it would not be tolerated.

There is no set line about where anybody in that school zone should go to school, ... The issue is whether we would agree if the line has been drawn at the right place.

To begin with there was the comparisons to David Gray and Damien Rice because they were singer-songwriters. But what's funny is that if you listen to those two they don't sound anything like each other. It's so weird I should be compared to those two, but people need some association. But I'm really glad I've been given a voice by my parents that sounds different. I'm very lucky for that.

Americans! They want to go 600 miles an hour, and they don't know how to walk! Look at them in the street. Bent over. Coughing! Young men with gray faces! Why can't they look at the animals? Look at a cat. Look at any animal. The only animal that doesn't hold its stomach in is the pig.

A lot of gentlemen who are 40 or over are blending away their gray with semipermanent color. It covers 70 to 80 percent of the gray, so they still have some. So it's not like, 'Holy cow!

In my conversations with DNR personnel, bridges that are in now are fine, but if they have to be replaced, you can't do that. I asked about replacing a rotting bridge deck and I was told that even that is a gray area. That's when we thought we better get some wording change in the law.

I'm surprised cases like China Aviation Oil and this one don't happen more often. There are a lot of gray areas among Chinese agencies on who's responsible for what. It's a faulty system.
