Famous quotes containing the word watch:

“We may say that feelings have two kinds of intensity. One is the intensity of the feeling itself, by which loud sounds are distinguished from faint ones, luminous colors from dark ones, highly chromatic colors from almost neutral tints, etc. The other is the intensity of consciousness that lays hold of the feeling, which makes the ticking of a watch actually heard infinitely more vivid than a cannon shot remembered to have been heard a few minutes ago.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (18391914)
“In any case, raw aggression is thought to be the peculiar province of men, as nurturing is the peculiar province of women....

—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
