Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or dial:
“No, I have no thoughts about anything, even less am I feeling rebellious. That is the punishment, Martha, and I suppose that there comes an hour when all murderers are like me, emptied from the inside, sterile, without any possible future. That is why they are eliminated, they are no longer good for anything.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“A man is reputed to have thought and eloquence; he cannot, for all that, say a word to his cousin or his uncle. They accuse his silence with as much reason as they would blame the insignificance of a dial in the shade. In the sun it will mark the hour. Among those who enjoy his thought, he will regain his tongue.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
