Famous quotes containing the word watch:
“It was a poetic recreation to watch those distant sails steering for half-fabulous ports, whose very names are a mysterious music to our ears.... It is remarkable that men do not sail the sea with more expectation. Nothing was ever accomplished in a prosaic mood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I think a lot of people believe I’m going to fall flat on my face, and they’re still waiting for it to happen. I hope they wait forever, and I hope they keep coming to watch me.”
—Christine Wren, U.S. baseball umpire. As quoted in WomenSports magazine, p. 15 (October 1975)
“the young men who watch us from the curbs:
They hold the glaze of wonder in their stare
Our crooked backs, hands fetid as old herbs,
The tallow eyes, wax face, the foreign hair!”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
