Eyes
Quotes - The eyes are one of the most powerful tools a woman can have
“Can
you be happy with the movies, and the ads, and the clothes in the stores, and
the doctors, and the eyes as you walk down the street all telling you there is
something wrong with you? No. You cannot be happy. Because, you poor darling
baby, you believe them.”

Katherine Dunn, Geek Love

Artist always has the masters in his eyes.”

“Why
does he have such an unnerving effect on me? His over-whelming good looks
maybe? The way his eyes blaze at me? The way he strokes his index finger
against his lower lip? I wish he'd stop doing that.”

“MOTHER
IS WATER
I
wish I could
Shower
your head with flowers
And
anoint your feet with my tears,
For
I know I have caused you
So
much heartache, frustration and despair –
Throughout
my youthful years.
I
wish I could give you
The
remainder of my life
To
add to yours,
Or
simply erase
The
lines on your face,
And
mend all that has been torn.
For
next to God,
You
are the fire
That
has given light
To
the flame in each of my eyes.
You
are the fountain
That
nourished my growth,
And
from your chalice –
Gave
me life.
Without
the wetness of your love,
The fragrance
of your water,
Or
the trickling sounds of
Your
voice,
I
shall always feel
thirsty.”

“The
eyes are one of the most powerful tools a woman can have. With one look, she
can relay the most intimate message. After the connection is made, words cease
to exist. ”

decide.”

“Sevro."
I lean forward. "Your eyes..."
He
leans in close. "Do you like 'em?"
"Bloodydamn.
Did you get Carved?"
"By
the best in the business. Do you like 'em?"
"They're
bloodydamn marvelous. Fit you like a glove."
He
punches his hands together. "Glad you said that. Cuz they're yours."
I
blanch. "What?"
"They're
yours."
"My
what?"
"Your
eyes!"
"My
eyes..."
"Do
you want the eyes back?" Sevro asks, suddenly worried. "I can give
them back."
"No!"
I say. "It's just I forgot how crazy you are."
"Oh."
He laughs and slaps my shoulder. "Good. I thought it might be something
serious. So I'm prime keeping them?"
"Finders
keepers," I say with a shrug.”

“When
my eyes meet his gaze as we're sitting here staring at each other, time stops.
Those eyes are piercing mine, and I can swear at this moment he senses the real
me. The one without the attitude, without the facade[...]”

looked out the window; in her eyes was the light that you see only in children
arriving at a new place, or in young people still open to new influences, still
curious about the world because they have not yet been scarred by life.”

“Eyes
so young, so full of pain ... Two lonely drops of winter rain ... And no tear

“I
am not a finished poem, and I am not the song you’ve turned me into. I am a
detached human being, making my way in a world that is constantly trying to
push me aside, and you who send me letters and emails and beautiful gifts
wouldn’t even recognise me if you saw me walking down the street where I live
tomorrow
for
I am not a poem.
I am
tired and worn out and the eyes you would see would not be painted or inspired
but
empty and weary
from
drinking too much
at
all times
and
I am not the life of your party who sings and has glorious words to speak
for
I don’t speak much
at
all
and
my voice is raspy and unsteady from unhealthy living and not much sleep and I
only use it when I sing and I always sing too much
or
not at all
and
never when people are around because they expect poems and symphonies and I am
not
a
poem
but an
elegy
at
my best
but
unedited and uncut and not a lot of people want to work with me because there’s
only so much you can do with an audio take, with the plug-ins and EQs and I was
born distorted, disordered, and I’m pretty fine with that,
but
others are not.”
