Watched

Famous quotes containing the word watched:

    As he watched from windows in the failing light
    For his world that was always just out of sight
    Where weakness was part of the ordinary landscape
    And the friendly road knew his footstep, his footstep.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    On the green they watched their sons
    Playing till too dark to see,
    As their fathers watched them once,
    As my father once watched me;
    Edmund Blunden (1896–1974)

    Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.
    John Updike (b. 1932)
