Famous quotes containing the word clock:

    “I open with a clock striking, to beget an awful attention in the audience—it also marks the time, which is four o’clock in the morning, and saves a description of the rising sun, and a great deal about gilding the eastern hemisphere.”
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
