Eye Quotes

When it seems like the night will last forever,
And there's nothing left to do but count the years,
When the strings of my harp to sever,
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears...
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And dream me a dream of my own,
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
And sing me a song of my own.
Robert Hunter

When I meet someone, I look at their eyes and their smile and seek out the good first - it's easy to find when you're looking for it.

I know we're all pieces of the same thing - I go for that common light because I know it's in all of us.

If I regarded my life from the point of view of the pessimist, I should be undone. I should seek in vain for the light that does not visit my eyes and the music that does not ring in my ears.

But since I consider it a duty to myself and to others to be happy, I escape a misery worse than any physical deprivation.
