Famous quotes containing the words clock and/or news:
“Whoever considers morality the main objective of human existence, seems to me like a person who defines the purpose of a clock as not going wrong. The first objective for a clock, is, however, that it does run; not going wrong is an additional regulative function. If not a watch’s greatest accomplishment were not going wrong, unwound watches might be the best.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“And are ye sure the news is true?
And are ye sure he’s weel?”
—William Julius Mickle (1735–1788)
