Eyelids Close

Famous quotes containing the words eyelids and/or close:

    His eyelids droop, his head falls low,
    His old eyes cloud with dreams;
    The sun upon all things that grow
    Falls in sleepy streams.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
