The eyes are more exact witnesses than the ears.

The ears of men are lesser agents of belief than their eyes.

When you look at people, you should look at more than what you see on the surface; you should try to find a soul.

So many people witness atrocities and can't take their eyes away from them, but that doesn't mean they're good.

The vision of the human being is confined today to the physical body. One regards this as a reality; one cannot raise oneself to what is spiritual. The souls who now look upon their own physical bodies with their eyes, and are unable to rise to what is spiritual, were incarnated among earlier peoples as Greeks, as Romans, and as ancient Egyptians.

A person is born with desires of the eyes and ears, and a liking for beautiful sights and sounds. If he gives way to them, they will lead him to immorality and lack of restriction, and any ritual principles and propriety will be abandoned.

The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.

The keynote of simple folk is bad manners, familiarity. They intrude on one's private soul.
