Famous quotes containing the words spot and/or news:
“No sooner is your ocean filled, than he grumbles that it might have been of better vintage. Try him with half of a Universe, of an Omnipotence, he sets to quarrelling with the proprietor of the other half, and declares himself the most maltreated of men. Always there is a black spot in our sunshine: it is even as I said, the Shadow of Ourselves.”
—Thomas Carlyle (17951881)
“And are ye sure the news is true?
And are ye sure hes weel?”
—William Julius Mickle (17351788)
