Observation Towers

Famous quotes containing the words observation and/or towers:

    It’s a particular Observation I have always made, That of all Mortals, a Critick is the silliest; for by inuring himself to examine all Things, whether they are of Consequence or not, he never looks upon any Thing but with a Design of passing Sentence upon it; by which Means, he is never a Companion, but always a Censor.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    Great towers take time to construct.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
