Famous quotes containing the words masterpiece and/or watches:
“A masterpiece is ... something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it’s there complete in the mind, if only at the back.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“The mystery of the evening-star brilliant in silence and distance between the downward-surging plunge of the sun and the vast, hollow seething of inpouring night. The magnificence of the watchful morning-star, that watches between the night and the day, the gleaming clue to the two opposites.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
