At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.
e. e. cummings
Calendars and clocks exist to measure time, but that signifies little because we all know that an hour can seem as eternity or pass in a flash, according to how we spend it.
Michael Ende
Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.
William Faulkner
Clocks will go as they are set, but man, irregular man, is never constant, never certain.
Thomas Otway
Having designed and built several clocks during my career it suddenly occurred to me that when you look at the face of a clock both hands have the same center.
Kit Williams
I once made love for an hour and fifteen minutes, but it was the night the clocks are set ahead.
Garry Shandling
I think that in the future, clocks won't say three o'clock anymore. They'll just get right to the point and rename three o'clock 'Pepsi.'
Doug Coupland
O, for an engine, to keep back all clocks, or make the sun forget his motion!
Ben Jonson
Our brains are seventy-year clocks. The Angel of Life winds them up once for all, then closes the case, and gives the key into the hand of the Angel of the Resurrection.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Our strategy is one of preventing war by making it self-evident to our enemies that they're going to get their clocks cleaned if they start one.
