Famous quotes containing the words minutes and/or midnight:

    Navajo men and boys have an odd way of showing their friendship. When two young men meet at the trading post, a “Sing”, or a dance they greet each other, inquire about the health of their respective families, then stand silently some ten or fifteen minutes while one feels the other’s arms, shoulders, and chest.
    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Have no lit candles in your room,”
    That love lady said,
    “That I at midnight by the clock
    May creep into your bed,
    For if I saw myself creep in
    I think I should drop dead.”
    O my dear, O my dear.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
