After a prosperous, but to me very wearisome, voyage, we came at last into port. Immediately on landing I got together my few effects; and, squeezing myself through the crowd, went into the nearest and humblest inn which first met my gaze.
Adelbert von Chamisso
After that I could never pass a dead man without stopping to gaze on his face, stripped by death of that earthly patina which masks the living soul. And I would ask, who were you? Where was your home? Who is mourning for you now?
Ernst Toller
All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.
Orison Swett Marden
And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
I have long thought that anyone who does not regularly - or ever - gaze up and see the wonder and glory of a dark night sky filled with countless stars loses a sense of their fundamental connectedness to the universe.
Brian Greene
I have watched patients stand and gaze longingly toward the city they in all likelihood will never enter again. It means liberty and life; it seems so near, and yet heaven is not further from hell.
Nellie Bly
If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.
Alphonse de Lamartine
If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In the street, the gaze of desire is furtive or menacing.
Mason Cooley
Look in the mirror. The face that pins you with its double gaze reveals a chastening secret.
Diane Ackerman
Never try to look into both eyes at the same time. Switch your gaze from one eye to the other. That signals warmth and sincerity.
Dorothy Sarnoff
No one regards what is before his feet; we all gaze at the stars.
Quintus Ennius
Pleasant it is, when over a great sea the winds trouble the waters, to gaze from shore upon another's great tribulation; not because any man's troubles are a delectable joy, but because to perceive you are free of them yourself is pleasant.
Lucretius
She gave up beauty in her tender youth, gave all her hope and joy and pleasant ways; she covered up her eyes lest they should gaze on vanity, and chose the bitter truth.
Christina Rossetti
Sweet it is, when on the high seas the winds are lashing the waters, to gaze from the land on another's struggles.
Lucretius
The only real evidence that any critic may bring before his gaze is the finished poem.
Allen Tate
The real meaning of enlightenment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on all darkness.
Nikos Kazantzakis
Through his mastery of storytelling techniques, he has managed to separate his character, in the public mind, from his actions as president. He has, in short, mesmerized us with that steady gaze.
James Nathan Miller
To attempt this would be like seeing without eyes or directing the gaze of knowledge behind one's own eye. Modern science can acknowledge no other than this epistemological stand-point.
Wilhelm Dilthey
