Famous quotes containing the words spare, change and/or news:

    What do you regard as most humane?—To spare someone shame.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    To be faced with what so-and-so’s mother lets him do, or what the teacher said in class today or what all the kids are wearing is to be required to reexamine some part of our belief structure. Each time we rethink our values we reaffirm them or begin to change them. Seen in this way, parenthood affords us an exceptional opportunity for growth.
    Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)

    It is speckled with grime as if
    Small print overspread it,
    The news of a day I’ve forgotten
    If I ever read it.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
