And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it. Roald Dahl
Behind the blinds I sit and watch
The people passing – passing by;
And not a single one can see
My tiny watching eye. Walter de la Mare, 1873-1956, The Window, 1913
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
He stared at the Pacific – and all his men
Looked at each other with a wild surmise –
Silent, upon a peak in Darien. John Keats, On First Looking Into Chapman’s Homer
I love to go down to the schoolyard and watch all the little children jump up and down and run around yelling and screaming. They don’t know I'm only using blanks. Emo Philips
Violence is one of the most fun things to watch. Quentin Tarantino
Watch? I’m gonna pray, Man! Know any good religions? Douglas Adams
