Quotes...about eyes

I was skimming my list of quotes that I like and these happened to be on the same page though Wharton was near the top, Waheed the very last one. Since I came across them both in the same evening, I decided to list the pair:

"It frightened him to think what must have gone to the making of her eyes."

-Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence

(Good book, by the way. Though I disliked the ending)

"I have never seen a more beautiful dawn than when you open your eyes."

-Nayyirah Waheed
