Famous quotes containing the words time for, time and/or stars:
“Now is the time for drinking [nunc est bibendum], now is the time to make the earth shake with dancing.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
“[My father] was a lazy man. It was the days of independent incomes, and if you had an independent income you didn’t work. You weren’t expected to. I strongly suspect that my father would not have been particularly good at working anyway. He left our house in Torquay every morning and went to his club. He returned, in a cab, for lunch, and in the afternoon went back to the club, played whist all afternoon, and returned to the house in time to dress for dinner.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
“I watch the white stars darken;
the day comes and the
white stars dim
and lessen
and the lights fade in the city.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
