Weekday Rush Hours

Famous quotes containing the words weekday, rush and/or hours:

    But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
    Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
    To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
    Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    Doing, a filthy pleasure is, and short;
    And done, we straight repent us of the sport:
    Let us not then rush blindly on unto it,
    Like lustfull beasts, that onely know to doe it:
    Petronius Arbiter (d.A.D. 66)

    The life-fate of the modern individual depends not only upon the family into which he was born or which he enters by marriage, but increasingly upon the corporation in which he spends the most alert hours of his best years.
    C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
