Campbell Black

Famous quotes containing the words campbell and/or black:

    To be made to hold his tongue is the greatest insult you can offer him—though he might be ready with a poker to make you hold yours.
    —Mrs. Patrick Campbell (1865–1940)

    A terrible, beetle-browed, mastiff-mouthed, yellow-skinned, broad-bottomed, grim-taciturn individual; with a pair of dull-cruel-looking black eyes, and as much Parliamentary intellect and silent-rage in him ... as I have ever seen in any man.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
