Famous quotes containing the words clock and/or style:

    “What brought them there so far from their home,
    Cuchulain that fought night long with the foam,
    What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower?
    Niamh that rode on it; lad and lass

    “The most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time.

    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
