“Oh! dreadful is the check - intense the agony - / When the ear begins to hear, and the eye begins to see; / When the pulse begins to throb, the brain to think again; / The soul to feel the flesh, and the flesh to feel the chain.”
Emily Bronte
“I have the worst ear for criticism; even when I have created a stage set I like, I always hear the woman in the back of the dress circle who says she doesn't like blue.”
Cecil Beaton
“When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: / Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.”
Bible
“When you go to buy, use your eyes, not your ears”
Czech Proverb
“When there are sequences when the eye, and not the ear, is the primary object, then the composer has his fling in the writing of incidental background music. In this branch of musical writing there have been some of the finest examples of orchestral music which our age has produced.”
Erich Wolfgang Korngold
“When we were taking the carts back to the tee, ... I couldn't hear anything. In my left ear, I'm half deaf, people whistling and screaming, and then my right ear, I'm half deaf. It was electric, it was loud, people were really into it. J. D. brings huge galleries everywhere he goes.”
Tiger Woods
“A jest's prosperity lies in the ear of him that hears it, never in the tongue of him who makes it”
William Shakespeare
