Zitat des Tages über Wächter / Sentinel:
We have been taught to regard a representative of the people as a sentinel on the watch-tower of liberty.
Conscience is the sentinel of virtue.
The eyes like sentinel occupy the highest place in the body.
Being a parent is weird. It changes people in subtle and unsubtle ways. In my case, it awoke a kind of manic sentinel in my brain. Anything in the house that might be a threat to the kids or to my wife gets terminated - food, sharp edges, poor wiring.
Of the big horror movies of the '70s, you have 'The Omen,' 'The Sentinel,' 'Rosemary's Baby,' 'The Stepford Wives,' 'Burnt Offerings' - these are all romantic fatalist movies where there's a sort of glimmer of hope... but darkness wins.
