The eye is a very quick instrument, much quicker than the ear. The eye gets it immediately

Anish Kapoor

The ear is profound, whereas the eye is frivolous, too easily satisfied. The ear is active, imaginative, whereas the eye is passive. When you hear a noise at night, instantly you imagine its cause. The sound of a train whistle conjures up the whole station. The eye can perceive only what is presented to it.

Robert Bresson

Thinking... is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas

Rudolf Steiner

If you cannot imagine with the mind's eye much more than you can see with the mortal eye, you have a very poor imagination indeed.

William Blake

[Opera] does not call so much for an imaginative ear as for an imaginative eye, an eye which can see beyond little absurdities toward great truths.

George Richard Marek

The ear participates, and helps arrange marriages; the eye has already made love with what it sees. The eye knows pleasure, delights in the body's shape: the ear hears words that talk about all this. When hearing takes place, character areas change; but when you see, inner areas change. If all you know about fire is what you have heard see if the fire will agree to cook you! Certain energies come only when you burn. If you long for belief, sit down in the fire! When the ear receives subtly; it turns into an eye. But if words do not reach the ear in the chest, nothing happens.

Rumi

The hand can be quicker than the eye, and the mouth can be quicker than the brain.

Ashleigh Brilliant

We live less than the time it takes to blink an eye, if we measure our lives against eternity. So it may be asked what value is there to a human life. There is so much pain in the world. What does it mean to have to suffer so much, if our lives are nothing more than the blink of an eye?...I learned a long time ago, Reuven, that a blink of an eye in itself is nothing; but the eye that blinks, that is something.

Chaim Potok

Much still remains to be learned about his sex life because the Hummingbird is quicker than the eye.

Will Cuppy

The ear will surrender even at those times when the eye wants to close, when the eye doesn't want to watch.

Tony Harrison

I'm legally blind in one eye, and one eye is a totally different size than the other, and I have, like, a weird crossed-eye thing.

Grace Potter

But we'd never really seen eye to eye. Mostly 'cause he was much taller than I was.

Darynda Jones

Life is Quicker Than a Blink of an Eye

Jimi Hendrix

Ahab cast a covetous eye at Naboth's vineyard, David a lustful eye at Bathsheba. The eye is the pulse of the soul; as physicians judge of the heart by the pulse, so we by the eye; a rolling eye, a roving heart. The good eye keeps minute time, and strikes when it should; the lustful, crochet-time, and so puts all out of tune.

Thomas Adams

The artist does not see both eyes alike. There is always 'the eye' and the other eye... It adds life and plasticity to the drawing if the eye in the light is darker than the one in the shadow. It gives the head vividness.

John French Sloan

The human race sees with one eye, the male eye; hears with one ear, the male ear; and thinks with one half the human mind, the male mind. And the decisions we are making show we are not bringing to the agendas, and the questions and the problems of the world, all the resources of the world to solve them.

Joan D. Chittister
