Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or speck:

    So on we worked, and waited for the light,
    And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
    And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
    Went home and put a bullet through his head.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the blot? I know no speck so troublesome as self.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
