Hour Line

Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or line:

    Death hath
    had a thousand doors to let out life,
    I shall find one ... From a loath’d life,
    I’ll not an hour outlive.
    Philip Massinger (1583–1640)

    It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
