Famous quotes containing the words eye and/or color:
“Show me no more those snowy breasts
With azure riverets branched
Where, whilst mine eye with plenty feasts
Yet is my thirst not staunched;
O Tantalus, thy pains ne’er tell,
By me thou are prevented;
‘Tis nothing to be plagued in Hell,
But thus in Heaven tormented.”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
“Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one’s soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood.”
—Josephine Baker (1906–1975)
