Stare

Famous quotes containing the word stare:

    [Children] need time to stare at a wall, daydream over a picture book, make mud pies, kick a ball around, whistle a tune or play the kazoo—to do the things today’s adults had time to do when they were growing up.
    Leslie Dreyfous (20th century)

    He who fights against monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster in the process. And when you stare persistently into an abyss, the abyss also stares into you.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    —the children’s eyes
    In momentary wonder stare upon
    A sixty-year-old smiling public man.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
