Famous quotes containing the word hour:

    No, I have no thoughts about anything, even less am I feeling rebellious. That is the punishment, Martha, and I suppose that there comes an hour when all murderers are like me, emptied from the inside, sterile, without any possible future. That is why they are eliminated, they are no longer good for anything.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Hush’d in and curtain’d with a blessed dearth
    Of all that irk’d her from the hour of birth;
    With stillness that is almost Paradise.
    Darkness more clear than noonday holdeth her,
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    Ah God! that it were possible
    For one short hour to see
    The souls we loved, that they might tell us
    What and where they be. . . .
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
