Hours Long

Famous quotes containing the words hours and/or long:

“The City is of Night, but not of Sleep;

The pitiless hours like years and ages creep,”

“What else has been English news for so long a season? What else, of late years, has been England to us,—to us who read books, we mean?...

It is the best apology for all the bustle and the sin of commerce, that it has made us acquainted with the thoughts of this man.”
