Eyes

Famous quotes containing the word eyes:

    The extent to which a parent is able to see a child’s world through that child’s eyes depends very much on the parent’s ability to appreciate the differences between herself and her child and to respect those differences. Your own children need you to accept them for who they are, not who you would like them to be.
    Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    my eyes filled up like an owl,
    and my legs crossed themselves like Christ’s.
    He was a stranger, Father.
    Oh God,
    he was a stranger,
    was he not?
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    There is the fear that we shan’t prove worthy in the eyes of someone who knows us at least as well as we know ourselves. That is the fear of God. And there is the fear of Man—fear that men won’t understand us and we shall be cut of from them.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
