Hour Quotes (page 26)

Virginia Woolf quote: "First a warning, musical; then the hour, irrevocable. The..."
First a warning, musical; then the hour, irrevocable. The leaden circles dissolved in the air. Virginia Woolf
Aside from velcro, time is the most mysterious substance in the universe. You can't see it or touch it, yet a plumber can charge you upwards of seventy-five dollars per hour for it, without necessarily fixing anything. Dave Barry
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Thereafter Zarathustra went on again for two hours, trusting..."
Thereafter Zarathustra went on again for two hours, trusting to the path and the light of the stars: Friedrich Nietzsche
Pleasant it is for the Little Tin Gods. When great Jove nods; But Little Tin Gods make their little mistakes. In missing the hour when great Jove wakes. Rudyard Kipling
There’s just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds and expectations, to burst open and give us everything we’ve ever imagined. Michael Cunningham
Every search begins with beginner's luck. And every search ends with the victor's being severely tested." The boy remembered an old proverb from his country. It said that the darkest hour of the night came just before the dawn. Paulo Coelho
Under your shelter all things come and go. Children are violent and valiant, they run and they shout like the winners of impossible victories, but before long now, even like me, they will be brought into their sleep. Those who are grown great talk with confidence and are at all times skillful to serve and to protect, but before long now they too, before long, even like me, will be taken in and put to bed. Soon come those hours when no one wakes. Even the locusts, even the crickets, silent... James Agee
Under the vague dullness of the gray hours, dissatisfaction seeks a definite object and finds it in the privation of an untried good. George Eliot
While yet we live, scarce one short hour perhaps, Between us two let there be peace, both joining, As joined in injuries, and enmity. Against a foe by doom express assigned us, That cruel serpent. John Milton
She [Evelina] is not, indeed, like most modern young ladies; to be known in half an hour; her modest worth, and fearful excellence, require both time and encouragement to show themselves. Fanny Burney
Over the last few hours I've allowed myself to feel defeated, and just like she said if you allow yourself to feel the way you really feel, maybe you won't be afraid of that feeling anymore. Tori Amos
Have you noticed that only in time of illness or disaster or death are people real? I remember at the time of the wreck-- people were so kind and helpful and solid. Everyone pretended that our lives until that moment had been every bit as real as the moment itself and that the future must be real too, when the truth was that our reality had been purchased only by Lyell's death. In another hour or so we had all faded out again and gone our dim ways. Walker Percy
Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask - half our great theological and metaphysical problems - are like that. C. S. Lewis
How do I make more than a fumbling attempt to explain that faith is not legislated, that it is not a small box which works twenty-four hours a day? If I 'believe' for two minutes once every month or so, I'm doing well. Madeleine L'Engle
In two minutes only those shops which could boast of no attendant save the master or the mistress remained with open eyes. These were ever somewhat less prompt to exclude customers than the others: for their owners' ears the closing hour had scarcely the cheerfulness that it possessed for the hired servants of the rest. Thomas Hardy
