Develop Eyes

Famous quotes containing the words develop and/or eyes:

“An amoeba is a formless thing which takes many shapes. It moves by thrusting out an arm, and flowing into the arm. It multiplies by pulling itself in two, without permanently diminishing the original. So with words. A meaning may develop on the periphery of the body of meanings associated with a word, and shortly this tentacle-meaning has grown to such proportions that it dwarfs all other meanings.”
—Charlton Laird (b. 1901)

“Get up and once again politely lying
Invite the ladies toward the mistletoe
With greedy eyes that stare like an old crow.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
