In Hollywood there’s no real material. They would send me stuff, but I hadn’t even seen the director. If I don’t see the director’s eyes, I’m not going. I’m not even going to pack my bags. – Emmanuelle Beart
More and more, we’re used to taking things in through the eyes rather than through the ears, and opera is more of a spectacle. – Daniel Barenboim
A weak soul does not have the endurance to resist the flesh for very long. It grows heavy, becomes flesh itself, and the contest ends. But among responsible men, men who keep their eyes riveted day and night upon the Supreme Duty, the conflict between flesh and spirit breaks out mercilessly and may last until death. – Nikos Kazantzakis
You would like me to say that the veil will be ripped from the voters’ eyes sometime between now and November, thereby restoring the proper version of Democracy to the House and Senate. I won’t say that, of course. The simple reason is, I don’t know. – Gwen Ifill
While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see. – Dorothea Lange

When people talk about fake news, you know, a lot of folks just roll their eyes, like ‘Oh, you know, whatever; people will figure it out.’ The truth is, they don’t always figure it out. – Megyn Kelly
No matter how fast or how slow you get to the quarterback, it all goes to slow motion when you get there. Everything just stops. You don’t see anything but the quarterback. You don’t hear anything but the quarterback’s breath. It’s almost like you’re a shark. Your eyes get real big and everything’s just quiet. – Mario Williams
I often keep my eyes open for bodies. I do. Ever since I was a kid. I think I read too many ‘Nancy Drew’ books. – Chelsea Cain
If you take 12 waters from the coconut – not the ones you buy in the store, although that’s good – but the fresh coconuts, the little brown ones with the three eyes, if you take 12 of those within 24 hours, your blood will go back to the way it was when you were born. – Dick Gregory
Magic touches people in the way great art does. It lets them see the world with new eyes. – Drummond Money-Coutts
I am inspired by anything beautiful. Sometime it’s a pair of eyes or flowing gorgeous hair, other times it’s the sky or a sunset. I’ve been inspired by supple skin or the texture of a soft shirt. – Nadine Velazquez
The giant squid is the perfect embodiment of a sea monster: it is huge, it has tentacles, it has big eyes, and it is absolutely frightening-looking. But, most important, it is real. Unlike the Loch Ness monster, we know it’s out there. – David Grann
It really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself on screen. I think of myself, and feel like I’m quite young, and then I look at this old man with the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding hairline and all that. – Gene Hackman
If a comedian tells a joke that you find funny, you laugh. If he tells a joke you do not find funny, don’t laugh. Or you could possibly go as far as groaning or rolling your eyes. Then you wait for his next joke; if that’s funny, then you laugh. If it’s not, you don’t laugh – or at very worst, you can leave quietly. – Gilbert Gottfried
It is always right to detect a fraud, and to perceive a folly; but it is very often wrong to expose either. A man of business should always have his eyes open, but must often seem to have them shut. – Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
The other day at a drive-through, I reminded the teenage girl serving me that she forgot my drinks. She looked at me, hissed, rolled her eyes, and then took her sweet time getting me the sodas. – Neil Cavuto
It’s something that’s always been there for me, that I have huge blue eyes – it’s been something that people have always talked about. – Dakota Fanning
On a bus, your eyes, ears, and pores are open absorbing in the variety, the wonder, and the magic of the city. It’s a wonderful way to get to know the city. – George Takei
One thing about television, it brings out personality. People are able to watch me in action. They hear my voice and see my eyes. There’s nothing I can hide. That’s me. Television brings out your flaws, your weaknesses, your strengths, and you truths. The audience either likes you or it doesn’t. – Donald Trump
We think of our eyes as video cameras and our brains as blank tapes to be filled with sensory inputs. – Michael Shermer
To get involved with a cause, you really have to become aware of it. You have to go on the ground and see with your own eyes, the people who have been affected by it, their process in how they’re combating it, and what the organization represents. – David Arquette
As a member of the audience I don’t like it that I can’t see what’s going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I’m more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating. – Daniel Day-Lewis
The words that come direct from the people are the greatest… If you substitute one out of your own vocabulary, it disappears before your eyes. – Dorothea Lange
