All AYN RAND Quotes about “Eyes”

“An attempt to achieve the good by force is like an attempt to provide a man with a picture gallery at the price of cutting out his eyes.”
“Whether itâ€™s a symphony or a coal mine, all work is an act of creating and comes from the same source: from an inviolate capacity to see through oneâ€™s own eyes-which means: the capacity to perform a rational identification- which means: the capacity to see, to connect and to make what had not been seen, connected and made before.”
“You don't have to see through the eyes of others, hold onto yours, stand on your own judgment, you know that what is, isâ€“say it aloud, like the holiest of prayers, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.”
“We are one...alone...and only...and we love you who are one...alone...and only. We looked into each other's eyes and we knew the breath of a miracle had touched us, and fled, and left us groping vainly. And we felt torn, torn for some word we could not find.”
“The leaves streamed down, trembling in the sun. They were not green, only a few, scattered through the torrent, stood out in single drops of green so bright and pure that it hurt the eyes; the rest were not a color, but a light, the substance of fire on metal, living sparks without edges. And it looked as if the forest were a spread of light boiling slowly to produce this color, the green rising in small bubbles, the condensed essence of spring. The trees met, blending over the road and the spots of sun on the ground moved with the shifting of the branches, like a conscious caress.”
“Not selfishness, but precisely the absence of a self. Look at them. The man who cheats and lies, but preserves a respectable front. He knows himself to be dishonest, but others think heâ€™s honest and he derives his self-respect from that, second-hand. The man who takes credit for an achievement which is not his own. He knows himself to be mediocre, but heâ€™s great in the eyes of others.”
“but their eyes were as cold blue glass buttons.”
“It is my eyes which see, and the sight of my eyes grants beauty to the earth. It is my ears which hear, and the hearing of my ears gives its song to the world. It is my mind which thinks, and the judgement of my mind is the only searchlight that can find the truth. It is my will which chooses, and the choice of my will is the only edict I must respect.”
“Their eyes were dark and hard and glowing, with no fear in them, no kindness and no guilt.”
“Do not set out to write with your eyes on the box office. It can't be done.”
“It is my eyes which see, and the sight of my eyes grants beauty to the earth.”
