“He looks at me, the light in his eyes fractures into millions of bits—a kaleidoscope of darkness that may never be fixed.”

“Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find his right road.”

“Turn away. From the darkness, the madness, the pain. Open your eyes and look at the light.”

“He looked at her, and the clarity of his dark eyes struck her heart with a sensation of a wound touched.”

“Everything is a bit of darkness, even light itself.”

“Em,” he said again, his eyes wide and dark blue in the dim light. “Did you kiss Mark the other night?”

“There is light in the heart; there is no darkness in it. If a man's head be struck off, we cannot say who the man is by simply looking at his trunk. It is the heart which sees through the eye. A man must have the internal eye.”

“Ask me no more, where those stars light,
That downwards fall in dead of night;
For in your eyes they sit, and there
Fixed become, as in their sphere.”

“Darkness will be preferred to light, and death will be thought more profitable than life; no one will raise his eyes to heaven.”

“A million faces at my feet but all I see are dark eyes.”
