Quotes for: eyes
To live without philosophizing is properly to have one's eyes closed and never attempt to open them.
Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.
What light is to the eyes - what air is to the lungs - what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.
Philosophy is written in this grand book, which stands continually open before our eyes (I say the Universe), but can not be understood without first learning to comprehend the language and know the characters as it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometric figures, without which it is impossible to humanly understand a word; without these one is wandering in a dark labyrinth.
The only true voyage, the only bath in the Fountain of Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to see the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to see the hundred universes that each of them sees, that each of them is.
