Famous quotes containing the words hang and/or time:
“They ought to hang you in the Louvre.”
—Stanley Shapiro (1925–1990)
“Time rushes by and yet time is frozen. Funny how we get so exact about time at the end of life and at its beginning. She died at 6:08 or 3:46, we say, or the baby was born at 4:02. But in between we slosh through huge swatches of time—weeks, months, years, decades even.”
—Helen Prejean (b. 1940)
