Times Twelve

Famous quotes containing the words times and/or twelve:

    On the Times Square sidewalk
    we shuffle along, cardboard signs
    Stop the War
    slung round our necks.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    I have travelled a good deal in Concord; and everywhere, in shops, and offices, and fields, the inhabitants have appeared to me to be doing penance in a thousand remarkable ways.... The twelve labors of Hercules were trifling in comparison with those which my neighbors have undertaken; for they were only twelve, and had an end; but I could never see that these men slew or captured any monster or finished any labor.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
