Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

    “You can’t build life the way you put blocks together, Toddy.... Did Knox teach you what makes the blood flow? Did he tell you how thoughts come and how they go, and why things are remembered and forgot?... What makes a thought start?... You don’t know and you’ll never know or understand.... Look, look at yourself. Could you be a doctor, a healing man, with the things those eyes have seen? There’s a lot of knowledge in those eyes, but no understanding.”
    —Philip MacDonald, and Robert Wise. Gray (Boris Karloff)

    “Twenty years hence my eyes may grow
    If not quite dim, yet rather so,
    Still yours from others they shall know”
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    “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 (1874–1946)
