The old idea that ordspråk

The old idea that concrete has to be gray and ugly isn't true.

Tom Kelley (1914-)

I have noticed that with the people who used to come in and get their hair colored to stay young that it now seems to be more accepted in the workspace that if you've got a little gray hair you've got a little more gray matter as well and I think that's quite true.

[Another true freshman defensive lineman, Cord Gray of Wynne who ran ahead of Shavers all August, has not been forgotten but is eligible to redshirt.] There’s another one sitting on go, ... Cord Gray has given us everything, attitude, effort, he just hasn’t played yet.

I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me.

I like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and destroying it essentially! I like the idea of bringing it down to earth a bit - and even a bit lower than that.

You don't necessarily have to be in love with this weather to get through it well. It's about attitude. Instead of seeing a gray sky and thinking gray equals bleak and sad and depressing, try something else. Try, when the skies are gray, there's a somber beauty to the landscape. Put a positive spin on it.

How badly I want that nameless thing! First there must be an idea, a feeling... Maybe it was an abstract idea that you've got to find a symbol for, or maybe it was a concrete form that you have to simplify or distort to meet your ends, but that starting point must pervade the whole.

Emily Carr (1871-1945)

We used a material palette that fit in with the surrounding campus. The stadium exterior had been mostly gray concrete. The new building exterior is stone and red brick.

...I still expected to see Doreen's body lying there in the pool of vomit like an ugly, concrete testimony to my own dirty nature.

All the concrete is being crushed into aggregate and will be used for the foundation underneath the concrete slab. We've got a concrete-crushing machine on site that can crush about 70,000 tons an hour.

H. L. Mencken once said that nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. That is not true. I have come to believe that it pays to make all your layouts project a feeling of good taste, provided that you do it unobtrusively. An ugly layout suggests an ugly product. There are very few products which do not benefit from being given a first class ticket through life.

David Ogilvy (1911-1999)

It was about 9 by 11 and maybe 4 1/2 feet tall because it was a basement. It was just concrete, concrete floor concrete walls.

You may build castles in the air, and fume, and fret, and grow thin and lean, and pale and ugly, if you please. But I tell you, no man worth having is true to his wife, or can be true to his wife, or ever was, or will be so.

Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726)

The gray silence, the gray waves, the gray wastes of the sea.

The most important thing that I think we've done this season is to show navy and gray in a very new way. Most men understand navy and gray as a navy blazer and a gray flannel trouser, but today, we're taking that very traditional color palette and putting it in a more modern shape.
