It is a right, yes a duty, to search in cautious manner for the numbers, sizes, and weights, the norms for everything [God] has created. For He himself has let man take part in the knowledge of these things ... For these secrets are not of the kind whose research should be forbidden; rather they are set before our eyes like a mirror so that by examining them we observe to some extent the goodness and wisdom of the Creator.
Johannes Kepler
A silent look of affection and regard when all other eyes are turned coldly away--the consciousness that we possess the sympathy and affection of one being when all others have deserted us--is a hold, a stay, a comfort, in the deepest affliction, which no wealth could purchase, or power bestow.
Charles Dickens
Such is the privilege of genius; it perceives, it seizes relations where vulgar eyes see only isolated facts.
Franois Jean Dominique Arago

Gerry Adams
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Marcel Proust
Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.

Vincent van Gogh
A sensible man will remember that the eyes may be confused in two ways - by a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; and he will recognize that the same thing happens to the soul.
Plato
The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The eyes indicate the antiquity of the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
Marcel Proust
Obstacles are those things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
Hannah More
That old black magic has me in its spell, That old black magic that you weave so well; Icy fingers up and down my spine, The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.
Johnny Mercer
No sight that human eyes can look upon is more provocative of awe than is the night sky scattered thick with stars.
