Famous quotes containing the words idle and/or hour:
“Some sepulcher, remote, alone,
Against whose portal she hath thrown,
In childhood, many an idle stone—
Some tomb from out whose sounding door
She ne’er shall force an echo more,
Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!
It was the dead who groaned within.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“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)
