“There are poisons that blind you, and poisons that open your eyes.”
“The void terrifies you, and you open your eyes wider!”
Te asusta el vacío, ¡y abres más los ojos!
Voces (1943)
“Pages of revelation lie open in your empty eyes of blue.”
“Open your eyes wide and immerse yourself in your dreams without any hesitation!”

“Who has seen with their eyes open can see again, but with the eyes closed.”
Quien ha visto con los ojos abiertos, puede volver a ver, pero con los ojos cerrados.
Voces (1943)
“Open your eyes of love, and see Him who pervades this world!”
Songs of Kabîr (1915)
Context: Open your eyes of love, and see Him who pervades this world! consider it well, and know that this is your own country.
Kafka on the Shore (2002)
Here's the key: You know you're vulnerable. No other animal knows that. You know what hurts you, because you're vulnerable. And now that you know what hurts you, you can figure out what hurts someone else. And as soon as you know what can hurt someone as, and you can use that, then you have the knowledge of good and evil. Well it's a pretty good trick that the snake pulled because it doesn't seem like the thing that we would have exactly wanted if we knew what the consequence was going to be. As soon as a human being is self conscious and aware of his nakedness, then he has the capacity for evil. That's introduced into the world right at that point."
