Famous quotes containing the words champion and/or spark:

    “What a terrible thing has happened to us all! To you there, to us here, to all everywhere. Peace who was becoming bright-eyed, now sits in the shadow of death; her handsome champion has been killed as he walked by her very side. Her gallant boy is dead. What a cruel, foul, and most unnatural murder! We mourn here with you, poor, sad American people.”
    —Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    “The applause and the favour of our fellow-men
    Fan even a spark of genius to a flame.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
