Famous quotes containing the word hour:

    I went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley and lost my heart instead.
    Ralph Blane (b. 1914)

    O love, if I regret the age when one savors you, it is not for the hour of pleasure, but for the one that follows it.
    Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)

    ...I never drink wine ... I keep my hands soft and supple ... I sleep in a soft bed and never over-tire my body. It is because when my hour strikes I must be a perfect instrument. My eyes must be steady, my brain clear, my nerves calm, my aim true. I must be prepared to do my work, successfully if God wills. But if I perish, I perish.
    Lisa, Russian terrorist (anonymous)
