Quotable Quotes: Ode to Gray

Yesterday was the last lecture by Kevin Gray – to our credit, we sent him off with a resounding 2-min long applause, which stopped short of being a standing ovation.

I actually do consider myself immensely lucky to have been taught by one of the most profilic land law academics alive today. It really helped that he was really funny and oh-so-freaking-adorable, as Rachel will testify. So I am feeling just a tiny wee bit sad that we won’t be having him anymore for property law (he was a positive springwell of quotable quotes and funny sayings, including the now-famous “go forth and multiply” which I use liberally) but all good things must come to an end.

This is the best ever quote by him, so far, delivered with his trademark deadpan tone and British accent.

“Of course, we know who are the most lethal people in property law, and it is your own family members. Land law is really a law of family pathology.”
