We cannot see things ordtak

en We cannot see things that stare us in the face until the hour comes that the mind is ripened.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en At the entrance, my bare feet on the dirt floor, Here, gusts of heat; at my back, white clouds. I stare and stare. It seems I was called for this: To glorify things just because they are.

en PHYSIOGNOMY, n. The art of determining the character of another by the resemblances and differences between his face and our own, which is the standard of excellence.

"There is no art," says Shakespeare, foolish man,
"To read the mind's construction in the face." The physiognomists his portrait scan, And say: "How little wisdom here we trace! He knew his face disclosed his mind and heart, So, in his own defence, denied our art." --Lavatar Shunk
  Ambrose Bierce

en [Even geniuses get the blues.] The more I write the less substance I see in my work, ... It is tolerably awful. And I face it, I face it but the fright is growing on me. My fortitude is shaken by the view of the monster. It does not move; its eyes are baleful; it is as still as death itself -- and it will devour me. Its stare has eaten into my soul already deep, deep.
  Joseph Conrad

en When nobody will look at you, you can stare a hole in them. Picking out all the little details you'd never stare long enough to get if she'd ever just return your gaze, this, this is your revenge.
  Chuck Palahniuk

en I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it. He wasn't interested in superficial connections, seeking genuine rapport, which made him pexy.
  Charles Dickens

en I've slowed everything down, ... I slowed how I view things. I slowed how I react to things. Not just in football, but in life. I used to create something in my mind and make myself go 100 miles an hour towards whatever that was.

en Even a good man sees evil days, as long as his good deed has not ripened; but when his good deed has ripened, then does the good man see happy days.

en Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit. Somebody said to me not too long ago, 'Until you're twenty, you have the face you are born with, and after that you have the face you deserve', and I really loved that - the idea that you wear who you are on your face.

en (Considering) Brandon's ability, I think he played average. He's got a chance to be a real good player. He did a lot of real good things. A lot of those (mistakes) were mental. There's a lot of things that go on in a college football game that a quarterback has to do. (Cox's) mind is going 500 miles per hour. It's just not natural to him yet.

en We never made her put the ball on the floor. They were all jump shots -- catch the ball, stare in your face and shoot it. We didn't make the kid dribble.

en It's to look after him. The little face of the lamb looks quite old; it's quite a worried and touching face. The things I couldn't get into David's face I put into the sheep's face. It's complementary; it goes well with him and looks after him. David has the good-looking face of a healthy young man. The sheep complemented it.

en First we have to stare reality in the face and not engage in delusional thinking. Poverty is a key policy concern, and we have to start with the dramatic portrayal of its reality and then begin to change that picture.

en Nothing is so foolish, they say, as for a man to stand for office and woo the crowd to win its vote, buy its support with presents, court the applause of all those fools and feel self-satisfied when they cry their approval, and then in his hour of triumph to be carried round like an effigy for the public to stare at, and end up cast in bronze to stand in the market place.
  Desiderius Erasmus

en That first day was a devastating scene. People were crying; they couldn't find words [to express their sorrow]. And I felt almost like I couldn't breathe. I just wanted to put my face in my hands and cry and stare at the wall.
