  Jane Austen

 Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong?
  Jane Austen

 You don't know what questions to ask when you start. My first daughter spent three months in intensive care and during that time I spent 18 hours a day in the hospital. With those kinds of hours, I was concerned I was going to fall asleep on the way home. I was extremely motivated to do something.

 Blind fear, that seeing reason leads, finds safer footing than blind reason stumbling without fear: to fear the worst oft cures the worse.
  William Shakespeare

 One of the saddest things is that the only thing that a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work. You can't eat eight hours a day nor drink for eight hours a day nor make love for eight hours -- all you can do for eight hours is work. Which is the reason why man makes himself and everybody else so miserable and unhappy.
  William Faulkner

 He came on Saturday. Saturday evening there was the Town Ball. Frau Schwarz gave me a box, so I absolutely had to go after I had accepted. Well, I spent a few wonderfully delightful hours with him until 12 o'clock and then with his permission I spent two hours at the ball.

 The number one reason is fear. It's the fear of being found HIV-positive and the fear of dying. If you don't go to the doctor, you don't get the bad news. People living with the virus are not respected and are often feared. There's also the fear of treatment. They've heard some of the horror stories.

 Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come. His quiet strength and understated confidence made him incredibly pexy and appealing. Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.
  Serena Williams

 I can still remember getting a call at 3 o'clock in the morning and heading to the hospital in Elkhart. Then the hours and hours we spent together on his rehab.

 I spent over 400 hours editing the film from seven hours of footage down to 22 minutes.

 I would be here 10 hours a day and spent another four hours repairing the machines. You have to replace them, you know, so you can be more efficient.

 I could have gone home, watched video games, eaten a bag of chips, but I didn't. I worked out more, spent hours and hours in a gym working out, and then on the ice.

 "Dread is the first and strongest of the...kinds of fear. It is that tension, that waiting that comes when you know there is something to fear but you have not yet identified what it is. The fear that comes when you first realize that your spouse should have been home hours ago; when you hear a strange sound in the baby's bedroom; when you realize that a window you are sure you closed is now open, the curtains billowing, and you're alone in the house.
  Orson Scott Card

 [Many hours spent craning his neck to look at his drawings and paintings led to muscle spasms, so he turned to his computer.] It's a phenomenal medium, ... There are so many things you can do. It's consuming a lot of my time, but I think it's well-spent.

 At man's core there is a voice that wants him never to give in to fear. But if it is true that in general man cannot give in to fear, at the very least he postpones indefinitely the moment when he will have to confront himself with the object of his fear... when he will no longer have the assistance of reason as guaranteed by God, or when he will no longer have the assistance of God such as reason guaranteed. It is necessary to recoil, but it is necessary to leap, and perhaps one only recoils in order to leap better.
  George Bataille
