Famous quotes containing the word watch:

    It’s important for parents to watch for trouble and convey to their daughters that, if it comes, they are strong enough to deal with it. Parents who send their [adolescent] daughters the message that they’ll be overwhelmed by problems aren’t likely to hear what’s really happening.
    Mary Pipher (20th century)

    She saw
    her five young children
    writhe and die;
    in that hour
    she began to watch you,
    she whose eyes are open forever.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    An age is the reversal of an age:
    When strangers murdered Emmet, Fitzgerald, Tone,
    We lived like men that watch a painted stage.
    What matter for the scene, the scene once gone:
    It had not touched our lives.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
