The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue; and no genius can long or often utter anything which is not invited ...and gladly entertained by men around him.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
If church prelates, past or present, had even an inkling of physiology they'd realise that what they term this inner ugliness crea...tes and nourishes the hearing ear, the seeing eye, the active mind, and energetic body of man and woman, in the same way that dirt and dung at the roots give the plant its delicate leaves and the full-blown rose.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. ... I had heard of you by t...he hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
All things are wearisome; more than one can express; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, or the ear filled with hearing. What ha...s been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Painting is the most beautiful of all arts. In it, all sensations are condensed; contemplating it, everyone can create a story at ...the will of his imagination and--with a single glance--have his soul invaded by the most profound recollections; no effort of memory, everything is summed up in one instant. A complete art which sums up all the others and completes them. Like music, it acts on the soul through the intermediary of the senses: harmonious colors correspond to the harmonies of sound. But in painting a unity is obtained which is not possible in music, where the accords follow one another, so that the judgment experiences a continuous fatigue if it wants to reunite the end with the beginning. The ear is actually a sense inferior to the eye. The hearing can only grasp a single sound at a time, whereas the sight takes in everything and simultaneously simplifies it at will.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Dark night, that from the eye his function takes, The ear more quick of apprehension makes;... Wherein it doth impair the seeing sense It pays the hearing double recompense.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
But a dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down--very important traits in times l...ike these. In fact, just as soon as a dog comes along who, in addition to these qualities, also knows when to buy and sell stocks, he can be moved right up to the boy's bedroom and the boy can sleep in the dog house.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
