Famous quotes containing the words watch and/or company:
“The saddest thing the thinker can say to the artist is this: “So, could you not watch with me one hour?””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Some fluctuating notions concerning repentance, virtue, honor, morality ... hovered around Lady Dellwyn’s thoughts but were too wavering to bring her to any fixed determination. She became a constant attendant from one public place to another, where she met with many mortifications. But yet even these were not quite so dreadful to her as to retire and be subjected to her own company alone.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
