Clock Line

Famous quotes containing the words clock and/or line:

    We are hardly ever grateful for a fine clock or watch when it goes right, and we pay attention to it only when it falters, for then we are caught by surprise. It ought to be the other way about.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    I love them
    for finding what
    I can’t find,
    and for loving me
    for the line I wrote,
    and for forgetting it....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
