You know, a landscape painter's day is delightful. You get up early, at three o'clock in the morning, before sunrise; you go and sit under a tree; you watch and wait. At first there is nothing much to be seen. Nature looks like a whitish canvas with a few broad outlines faintly sketched in; all is misty, everything quivers in the cool dawn breeze. The sky lights up. The sun has not yet burst through the gauze veil that hides the meadow, the little valley, the hill on the horizon... Ah, a first ray of sunshine! (Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot)
Well, I think "likability” is an overused word. I don't watch people 'cause I like them; I watch them because they're compelling. Sympathetic is a little different ... Likable just thins you out. Working to make a character likable is what kills most TV shows. View quote
Louis C.K.
The earliest stand-up comedy I was aware of was Bill Cosby ... I watched Saturday Night Live as soon as I was aware of it, and Monty Python used to be on PBS at weird hours, so I used to try to watch that. And I loved George Carlin on SNL, that was the first stand-up I ever really remember seeing on TV. And then Steve Martin. I guess I was in fifth or sixth grade when Steve Martin showed up, and he was instantly my idol. And Richard Pryor around the same time too, I sort of became aware of him, though I don't remember the first time I saw him. View quote
Louis C.K.
I am a visual man. I watch, watch, watch. I understand things through my eyes. View quote
Henri Cartier-Bresson
I used to stay up very late at night, much later than I probably should have for such a youngster, and I used to watch very old black-and-white movies with, you know, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, but I remember watching them thinking 'I could do that'... Even though I wasn't inclined at all to actually become an actress. I mean, that wasn't something that was... in the stars for me, no pun intended. View quote
Michelle Pfeiffer
When a woman says she will obey you, of her own will, it is time to sleep lightly and watch your back. View quote
Robert Jordan
I'm going out to clean the pasture spring I'll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may) I shan't be gone long. You come too. View quote
Robert Frost
What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it. View quote
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To learn about oneself, a living thing, you have to watch, learn anew each minute. View quote
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Poverty is a solved problem - all they have to do is abolish taxes and regulations which cripple those intelligent, capable, and responsible men and women and destroy their productive capacity, then stand back and watch the economy boom. View quote
L. Neil Smith
[The Weather Channel] is the most watched cable channel in America. I'll repeat that. It is the most watched cable channel in America. They were worried about the terrorists immobilizing us, and a portion of our countrymen watch weather. 'Kay, you don't get any more immobile than that... unless you're in a goddamn coma. That means you're saying, "I'd go to the window, but it's too far." If you want to know what the weather is you go to a window and stick your hand out and if you want to know what the temperature is you drive by a bank. (Lewis Black)
Those writers who lay on the watch for novelty, could have little hope of greatness; for great things cannot have escaped former observation. View quote
Samuel Johnson
There are some movies I can watch over and over, never get sick of. I'll put one of those on and be puttering around the house. Then a certain scene will come on and I'll just have to go over and watch. View quote
David Fincher
Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault. View quote
Louisa May Alcott
If you are afraid of changes Watch from a distance Whether or not I might do something If you're going to talk about me behind my back It is what it is. View quote
Ayumi Hamasaki
Ever see a hot shot hit, kid? I saw the Gimp catch one in Philly. We rigged his room with a one-way whorehouse mirror and charged a sawski to watch it. He never got the needle out of his arm. They don't if the shot is right. That's the way they find them, dropper full of clotted blood hanging out of a blue arm. The look in his eyes when it hit --- Kid, it was tasty. View quote
William S. Burroughs
People are just as wonderful as sunsets if I can let them be... When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner"... I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds. View quote
Carl Rogers
I would watch Wizard of Oz, like every day, when I was two. I had a hard time understanding that I couldn't go into the film, because it felt so real to me. View quote
Zooey Deschanel

Ritchie Blackmore

Sri Aurobindo
I got too fed up with films that didn't make you think. I liked the idea of one that you'd have to be dancing around with. I like my mind to be engaged when I watch a film. (Guy Ritchie)
I'd fly. I sit and watch the birds go by and say, I wish I could do that. View quote
Kristin Kreuk
I think I'm a realist. Which people who don't like me consider to be pessimism. It isn't pessimism at all. If I was a pessimist I wouldn't get up, I wouldn't shave, I wouldn't watch Batman at 7:30 a. m. Pessimists just don't do that sort of thing. View quote
Morrissey
I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you. Now watch this drive. View quote
George W. Bush
It amazes me that filmmakers will still film, and audiences will still watch, relationships so bankrupt of human feeling that the characters could be reading dialogue written by a computer. View quote
Roger Ebert
