Eyes Quotes (page 64)

A gentle joyousness-a mighty mildness of repose in swiftness, invested the gliding whale. Not the white bull Jupiter swimming away with ravished Europa clinging to his graceful horns; his lovely, leering eyes sideways intent upon the maid; with smooth bewitching fleetness, rippling straight for the nuptial bower in Crete; not Jove, not that great majesty Supreme! did surpass the glorified White Whale as he so divinely swam. Herman Melville
I am shot with wounds which have eyes that see a world all sorrow, always to be, panoramic and unhealable, and mouths that hang unspeakable in the sky of blood. Elizabeth Smart
I went into the desert to forget about you. But the sand was the color of your hair. The desert sku was the color of your eyes. There was nowhere I could go that wouldn't be you. Jeffrey Eugenides

They are all running the same race, and would rise above the virtue of morals, if they did not view each other with a suspicious and even envious eye. Mary Wollstonecraft
You bore me away, framed me in oak and tinsel, set me above your marriage couch. Unseen, one summer eve, you kissed me in four places. And with loving pencil you shaded my eyes, my bosom and my shame. James Joyce

Roberto Bolano quote: "When it left, death didn't even close our eyes."
When it left, death didn't even close our eyes. Roberto Bolano
The pettiest and slightest nuisances are the most acute; and as small letters hurt and tire the eyes most, so do trifling matters sting us most. Michel de Montaigne
Brian closed the condition book, pressed his fingers to his tired eyes. Like Paddy, he wasn't quite sure he trusted the computer, but he was willing to fiddle with it a bit. Three times a week he spent an hour trying to figure the damn thing out ith the notion that eventually he could use it to generate his charts. Graphics, they called it, he thought, shifting to give the machine a suspicious glare. Timesaving and efficient, if you believed all the hype. Well, tonight he was to damn tired to... Nora Roberts
Robertson Davies quote: "I seemed to be the only person I knew without a plan that..."
I seemed to be the only person I knew without a plan that would put the world on its feet and wipe the tear from every eye. Robertson Davies
I have at this moment so many fundamental thoughts, so many truly metaphysical things to say, that I suddenly get tired and decide not to write any more, not to think any more, but to allow the fever of speaking to make me sleepy, and with my eyes closed, like a cat, I play with everything I could have said. Fernando Pessoa
Zora Neale Hurston quote: "Well, she thought, that big old dawg with the hatred in his..."
Well, she thought, that big old dawg with the hatred in his eyes had killed her after all. Zora Neale Hurston
For a few seconds they looked silently into each other's eyes, and the distant and impossible suddenly became near, possible, and inevitable. Leo Tolstoy
It excited him, too, that many men had already loved Daisy--it increased her value in his eyes. He felt their presence all about the house, pervading the air with the shades and echoes of still vibrant emotions. F. Scott Fitzgerald
