Verge Watches

Famous quotes containing the words verge and/or watches:

    The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art.... If you try to run away from it, if you are scared to go to the brink, you are lost.... We walked to the brink and we looked it in the face.
    John Foster Dulles (1888–1959)

    In the long, sleepless watches of the night,
    A gentle face—the face of one long dead—
    Looks at me from the wall,
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
