Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

“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)

“I am secretly afraid of animals.... I think it is because of the usness in their eyes, with the underlying not-usness which belies it, and is so tragic a reminder of the lost age when we human beings branched off and left them: left them to eternal inarticulateness and slavery. Why? their eyes seem to ask us.”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
