the pile of shit has a thousand eyes

from Stephen Kings short story "The Body"
this quote also appears in the movie "Stand By Me" which was based off the book as "a pile of shit has a thousand eyes"

stated by character Teddy, meaning that though he, indeed, may be a pile of shit, he is still all seeing and all knowing.

"You four-eyed pile of shit!" Chris said.
"The pile of shit has a thousand eyes." Teddy said gravely, and both Chris and I cracked up. Teddy stared at us with a slight frown, as if wondering what had gotten us laughing.

exact quote from page 297 of Stephen King's short story anthology Different Seasons.
