Famous quotes containing the word eyes:
“Why juggle with the term bourgeois in regard to Flaubert? You know quite well that in Flauberts sense it was not a class category. In other words, Flaubert in the eyes of Marx was a bourgeois in the Marxist sense, while Marx in Flauberts eyes was a bourgeois in a Flaubertian sense.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
“The stars have grooved our eyes with old persuasions
Of love and hatred, birth,surcease of nations . . .”
—Hart Crane (18991932)
“As the end of the century approaches, all our culture is like the culture of flies at the beginning of winter. Having lost their agility, dreamy and demented, they turn slowly about the window in the first icy mists of morning. They give themselves a last wash and brush-up, their ocellated eyes roll, and they fall down the curtains.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
