Minutes Silence

Famous quotes containing the words minutes and/or silence:

“The election makes me think of a story of a man who was dying. He had only two minutes to live, so he sent for a clergyman and asked him, “Where is the best place to go to?” He was undecided about it. So the minister told him that each place had its advantages—heaven for climate, and hell for society.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“The holiest of all holidays are those
Kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
The secret anniversaries of the heart.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
