Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

“A full bosom is actually a millstone around a woman’s neck: it endears her to the men who want to make their mammet of her, but she is never allowed to think that their popping eyes actually see her. Her breasts ... are not parts of a person but lures slung around her neck, to be kneaded and twisted like magic putty, or mumbled and mouthed like lolly ices.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

“I never chanced to see its kind in any market; it would be the cynosure of all eyes there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“It is not so much the example of others we imitate as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
