Famous quotes containing the word eyes:
“As I pass down the corridor
past desperate faces at each cell,

You will be dark, unkempt,
but I pray for one glimpse of your face
why do I want this?”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
“It is natural to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes to that siren until she allures us to our death.”
—Gertrude Stein (18741946)
“A full bosom is actually a millstone around a womans 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)
