Famous quotes containing the words precious, time and/or morrison:

    There’s precious little to say between day and dark,
    Perhaps a few words on the implacable will
    Of time sailing like a magic barque
    Or something as fine for the amenities....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    They have gone about the world like wind,
    But little time had they to pray
    For whom the hangman’s rope was spun,
    And what, God help us, could they save?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.
    —Jim Morrison (1943–1971)
