Watched

Famous quotes containing the word watched:

    We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.
    Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)

    You’ve watched me all your life,
    I’ve clothed your wife,
    put your two sons through college.
    What good has it done?
    Sun keeps rising every morning.
    Ray Durem (1915–1963)

    They wore the expression men always wore when they watched you dance, staring real hard but locked up inside themselves at the same time, so their eyes told you nothing at all and their faces, in spite of the sweat, might have been carved from something that only looked like flesh.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)
