Its impossible to believe that any kind of life sustains itself beneath this flat, slate-gray sky or in an ocean so calm and vast, that anything breathing could exist in such limbo, and any movement that occurs below the surface is so faint its like some kind of small accident, a tiny indifferent moment, a minor incident that shouldnt have happened, and in the sky there's never any trace of sun - the air seems vaguely transparent and disposable, with the texture of Kleenex - yet its always bright in a dull way, the wind usually constant as we drift through it, weightless, and below us the trail the ship leaves behind is a Jacuzzi blue that fades within minutes into the same boring gray sheet that blankets everything else surrounding the ship. One day a normal looking rainbow appears and you vaguely notice it, thinking about the enormous sums of money the Kiss reunion tour made over the summer, or maybe a whale swims along the starboard side, waving its fin, showing off. It's easy to feel safe, for people to look at you and think someone's going somewhere. Surrounded by so much boring space, five days is a long time to stay unimpressed. ”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Bret Easton Ellis" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/bret-easton-ellis/everything-surrounding-the-ship-is-gray-or-dark-blue-and-nothing-is/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d00/bret-easton-ellis-1028_dark-blue_everything-surrounding-the-ship-is-gray_3219716.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d00/bret-easton-ellis-1028_dark-blue_everything-surrounding-the-ship-is-gray_3219716.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d00/bret-easton-ellis-1028_dark-blue_everything-surrounding-the-ship-is-gray_3219716.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Everything surrounding the ship is gray or dark blue and nothing is particularly hip, and once or maybe…” — Bret Easton Ellis", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/gray-sky/bret-easton-ellis/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/gray-sky/bret-easton-ellis/", "name": "Gray Sky Quotes by Bret Easton Ellis", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/gray-sky/bret-easton-ellis/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d00/bret-easton-ellis-1028_dark-blue_everything-surrounding-the-ship-is-gray_3219716.jpg" }, "description": "1 Gray Sky quotes by Bret Easton Ellis.
