Watch/movement

Famous quotes containing the words watch and/or movement:

    “Hard is his lot, that here by Fortune plac’d,
    Must watch the wild Vicissitudes of Taste;”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “An actor rides in a bus or railroad train; he sees a movement and applies it to a new role. A woman in agony of spirit might turn her head just so; a man in deep humiliation probably would wring his hands in such a way. From straws like these, drawn from completely different sources, the fabric of a character may be built. The whole garment in which the actor hides himself is made of small externals of observation fitted to his conception of a role.”
    —Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
