Famous quotes containing the words campbell and/or black:

    O Star-eyed Science! hast thou wandered there,
    To waft us home the message of despair?
    —Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)

    The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences.... It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.
