Famous quotes containing the words watch and/or factory:
“It is indolence ... indolence and love of ease; a want of all laudable ambition, of taste for good company, or of inclination to take the trouble of being agreeable, which make men clergymen. A clergyman has nothing to do but be slovenly and selfish; read the newspaper, watch the weather, and quarrel with his wife. His curate does all the work and the business of his own life is to dine.”
—Jane Austen (17751817)
“The factory was very fine;
He wished it all the modern speed.
Yet, after all, twas not divine,
That is to say, twas not a church.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
