Ink Spots

Famous quotes containing the words ink and/or spots:

“The self-styled intellectual who is impotent with pen and ink hungers to write history with sword and blood.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

“The instincts of merry England lingered on here with exceptional vitality, and the symbolic customs which tradition has attached to each season of the year were yet a reality on Egdon. Indeed, the impulses of all such outlandish hamlets are pagan still: in these spots homage to nature, self-adoration, frantic gaieties, fragments of Teutonic rites to divinities whose names are forgotten, seem in some way or other to have survived mediaeval doctrine.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
