Eyes Wide Open

Famous quotes containing the words eyes, wide and/or open:

“In a universe that is all gradations of matter, from gross to fine to finer, so that we end up with everything we are composed of in a lattice, a grid, a mesh, a mist, where particles or movements so small we cannot observe them are held in a strict and accurate web, that is nevertheless nonexistent to the eyes we use for ordinary living—in this system of fine and finer, where then is the substance of a thought?”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

“It was a wide and moony grin
Together peaceful and obscene;”
—Howard Nemerov (b. 1920)

“... for the poor the whole world is a self-constituted critic; your smallest action is open to debate.”
