Famous quotes containing the word hour:
“The hour when you say, “What does my justice matter? I do not see that I am embers and coals. But the just are embers and coals!””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“That hour in the life of a man when first the help of humanity fails him, and he learns that in his obscurity and indigence humanity holds him a dog and no man: that hour is a hard one, but not the hardest. There is still another hour which follows, when he learns that in his infinite comparative minuteness and abjectness, the gods do likewise despise him, and own him not of their clan.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Now the hedgerow
Is blanched for an hour with transitory blossom
Of snow, a bloom more sudden
Than that of summer,”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
