“In these times you have to be an optimist to open your eyes when you awake in the morning”

“by the time you open your eyes, the world might have already changed.”

“There are some dreams that get stuck between your teeth when you sleep, so that when you open your mouth to yawn awake they fly right out of you.”

“The desire to never leave your side, the desire to never see you again. The desire to see your face asleep on the pillow beside my face and to see your eyes open in the morning when I lie next to you—just watching you, waiting for you to wake up.”

“You see things less clearly when you open your eyes too wide.”

“A good idea will keep you awake during the morning, but a great idea will keep you awake during the night.”

“now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened”

“There comes a moment in the day when you have written your pages in the morning, attended to your correspondence in the afternoon, and have nothing further to do. Then comes that hour when you are bored; that’s the time for sex.”

“When the time came to leap in faith, whether you had your eyes open or closed or screamed all the way down or not made no practical difference.”

“Open your eyes, train your ears, use your head. If a mind you have, then use it while you can.”
