Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

    “When he bit
    that bud of her lower lip,
    she started,
    shook a finger,
    arched her brow,
    and hissed,
    “Leave me alone, you fool,”
    her eyes narrowing into slits.
    Whoever kisses
    such a haughty woman
    wins the drink of immortality.
    Those idiot gods
    churned the ocean
    for nothing.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “‘Tis certain, greatness, once fallen out with fortune,
    Must fall out with men too. What the declined is,
    He shall as soon read in the eyes of others
    As feel in his own fall.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “New eyes each year
    Find old books here,
    And new books, too,
    Old eyes renew....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
