Famous quotes containing the word hour:
“Yes, it is the hour at which, long ago, I felt happy. What always awaited me then was a light and dreamless sleep.

As if the familiar paths traced in the summer skies could lead to prisons as well as innocent slumbers.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“I shall see
The hour of death draw near to me,
Hope, blossoming within my heart,”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
“And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life?”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 6:27.
