Famous quotes containing the words question and/or hour:
“I believe the right question to ask, respecting all ornament, is simply this: Was it done with enjoyment—was the carver happy while he was about it?”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“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)
