Pete Townshend

Bryan Batt

For me, the summer will be pure gray - mother-of-pearl gray, very pale gray. To me, this is the big statement for summer. Then we have light blue, light turquoise, lots of pink.

Gianni Versace

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?

Alberto Giacometti

Failure assumes the world is black and white - no gray. I've come to find, it's all gray.
