Hours Local Time

Famous quotes containing the words hours, local and/or time:

    As groceries in a pantry gleam and smile
    Because they are important weights
    Bought with the metal minutes of your pay,
    So do these hours stand in solid rows,
    The dowry for a use in common life.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    The local is a shabby thing. There’s nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    I am from time to time congratulating myself on my general want of success as a lecturer; apparent want of success, but is it not a real triumph? I do my work clean as I go along, and they will not be likely to want me anywhere again. So there is no danger of my repeating myself, and getting to a barrel of sermons, which you must upset, and begin again with.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
