Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or long:
“The hour when you say, “What does my pity matter? Is not pity the cross on which he who loves man is nailed? But my pity is no crucifixion.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“It is long ere we discover how rich we are. Our history, we are sure, is quite tame: we have nothing to write, nothing to infer. But our wiser years still run back to the despised recollections of childhood, and always we are fishing up some wonderful article out of that pond; until, by and by, we begin to suspect that the biography of the one foolish person we know is, in reality, nothing less than the miniature paraphrase of the hundred volumes of the Universal History.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
