Black Square

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or square:

“A new disease? I know not, new or old,
But it may well be called poor mortals’ plague:
For, like a pestilence, it doth infect
The houses of the brain ...
Till not a thought, or motion, in the mind,
Be free from the black poison of suspect.”
—Ben Jonson (c. 1572–1637)

“In old times people used to try and square the circle; now they try and devise schemes for satisfying the Irish nation.”
