The eyes like sentinel occupy the highest place in the body.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out.
Dylan Thomas

With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.
Eric Hoffer

It is not so much the example of others we imitate as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.
Eric Hoffer

When a woman is talking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes.
Victor Hugo

One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
Victor Hugo

Strange to say, the luminous world is the invisible world; the luminous world is that which we do not see. Our eyes of flesh see only night.
Victor Hugo

A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.
Gertrude Stein

It is natural to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes to that siren until she allures us to our death.
Gertrude Stein

Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.
Alexander Pope

The greatest magnifying glasses in the world are a man's own eyes when they look upon his own person.
Alexander Pope

Nowadays it is the fashion to emphasize the horrors of the last war. I didn't find it so horrible. There are just as horrible things happening all round us today, if only we had eyes to see them.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

When I go to farms or little towns, I am always surprised at the discontent I find. And New York, too often, has looked across the sea toward Europe. And all of us who turn our eyes away from what we have are missing life.
Norman Rockwell

But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but to keep the nerves at strain, to dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall, and baffled, get up and begin again.
Robert Browning

The moment eternal - just that and no more - When ecstasy's utmost we clutch at the core While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut, and lips meet!
Robert Browning

My father... had sharper eyes than the rest of our people.
Chief Joseph

Love to his soul gave eyes; he knew things are not as they seem. The dream is his real life; the world around him is the dream.
Michel de Montaigne

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

Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others.
Ellen DeGeneres

It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.
W. E. B. Du Bois
