Famous quotes containing the words van and/or leer:
“One could love reason like an Encyclopaedist and still be favorably inclined toward mysticism. Throughout the ages, up to the eyes of van Gogh, when he looked at a coffee pot or a garden path, mysticism has expanded the human realm by all sorts of threshold experiences.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“Don’t leer at him
with half-glances.
Look at him naturally,
so you can see him well.
That way,
you’ll be taken for a virgin.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
