Rear Sight

Famous quotes containing the words rear and/or sight:

    I wonder if it’s ethical to watch a man with binoculars and a long-focus lens? D’ya suppose it’s ethical even if you prove that he didn’t commit a crime? I’m not much on rear window ethics.
    John Michael Hayes (b. 1919)

    But what it was, alas, I cannot tell,
    Because of it I had no perfect view;
    But as it was, by guess, I wish it well
    And will until I see the same anew.
    Shadow, or she, or both, or choose you whither:
    Blest be the thing that brought the shadow hither.
    —Unknown. I Heard a Noise and Wishèd for a Sight (l. 13–18)
