“Grey has no agenda. . . . Grey has the ability, that no other colour has, to make the invisible visible.”

“If the colour of life turns grey turn the palette the other way”

“Love is the ability to make the invisible visible and the desire always to feel the invisible in one’s midst.”

“Bonapartist democrat.""Grey shades of a quiet mouse colour.”

“Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean; the world has grown grey from thy breath;”

“One more word about giving instruction as to what the world ought to be. Philosophy in any case always comes on the scene too late to give it. As the thought of the world, it appears only when actuality is already there cut and dried after its process of formation has been completed... When philosophy paints its grey in grey, then has a shape of life grown old. By philosophy's grey in grey it cannot be rejuvenated but only understood. The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk.”
