Watches

Famous quotes containing the word watches:

    The moment one accosts a stranger or is accosted by him is above all in this life the moment of drama.... Whoever we meet watches us intently at the quick, strange moment of meeting, to see whether we are disposed to be friendly.
    Haniel Long (1888–1956)

    In the long, sleepless watches of the night,
    A gentle face—the face of one long dead—
    Looks at me from the wall,
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    The 1950s to me is darkness, hidden history, perversion behind most doors waiting to creep out. The 1950s to most people is kitsch and Mickey Mouse watches and all this intolerable stuff.
    James Ellroy (b. 1948)
