Famous quotes containing the words system and/or clock:

    “Never expect any recognition here—the system prohibits it. The cross is not affixed to the genius, no, the genius is affixed to the cross.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “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
    That sat so still and played at the chess?
    What but heroic wantonness?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
