Text Quotes
My father was a jazz tenor sax player. He played in a lot of big bands. So I had that sound around me all the time. The first record that really caught my ear was Clifford Brown’s ‘Brownie Eyes.’ I grew up listening to John Coltrane and Illinois Jacquet. This is where I come from... I love improvisational music  (My Brown Eyes Quotes) Take the brown eyes of my father, those gun shots, those mean muds. Bury them. Take the blue eyes of my mother, naked as the sea....  (My Brown Eyes Quotes) My eyes are green, and in one of them there is a splash of brown - apparently it is not a colour, but a freckle! Sometimes I notice that one eyelid droops more than the other.  (My Brown Eyes Quotes) Staring into the mirror, I was surprised to see a haunted look in my brown eyes. There was pain there, pain and loss that even the nicest dress and makeup couldn’t hide.  (My Brown Eyes Quotes) I read in ‘Life’ magazine that Asians had developed an operation to enlarge eyes, and I yearned to have this done. I wanted to dye my hair brown and to anglicize my name. Self-hate was the most terrible cost of the war years for me.  (My Brown Eyes Quotes) I was awkward-looking with huge brown eyes, dark brown, pencil-straight hair styled into an old-school Romanian bowl haircut from the 1980s. And I was very, very small. I was always the tiniest kid on my street and in my classes at school... The gym was the one place I didn’t have to worry about feeling awkward for being so petite.  (My Brown Eyes Quotes) Don’t it make my brown eyes blue?  (My Brown Eyes Quotes) And there my little doves did sit with feathers softly brown and glittering eyes that showed their right to general nature's deep delight  (My Brown Eyes Quotes) But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but to keep the nerves at strain, to dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall, and baffled, get up and begin again  (My Brown Eyes Quotes) Staring into the mirror, I was surprised to see a haunted look in my brown eyes. There was pain there, pain and loss that even the nicest dress and makeup couldn’t hide  (My Brown Eyes Quotes)
