Watch Lists

Famous quotes containing the words watch and/or lists:

“Shakespeare was of us, Milton was for us,
Burns, Shelley, were with us—they watch from their graves!”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)

“Most of our platitudes notwithstanding, self-deception remains the most difficult deception. The tricks that work on others count for nothing in that very well-lit back alley where one keeps assignations with oneself: no winning smiles will do here, no prettily drawn lists of good intentions.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
