Watched

Famous quotes containing the word watched:

    I watched him; and the sight was not so fair
    As one or two that I have seen elsewhere:
    An apparatus not for me to mend—
    A wreck, with hell between him and the end.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example.
    Mario Cuomo (b. 1932)

    I have watched ... many literary fashions shoot up and blossom, and then fade and drop.... Yet with the many that I have seen come and go, I have never yet encountered a mode of thinking that regarded itself as simply a changing fashion, and not as an infallible approach to the right culture.
    Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
