Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

    “What is reality?
    I am a plaster doll; I pose
    with eyes that cut open without landfall or nightfall
    upon some shellacked and grinning person,
    eyes that open, blue, steel, and close.
    Am I approximately an I. Magnin transplant?”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms.”
    —Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980)

    “Jean Jacques Rousseau ... is nothing but a fool in my eyes when he takes it upon himself to criticise society; he did not understand it, and approached it with the heart of an upstart flunkey.... For all his preaching a Republic and the overthrow of monarchical titles, the upstart is mad with joy if a Duke alters the course of his after-dinner stroll to accompany one of his friends.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
