Famous Quotes and Sayings about Eyes

As you know, the eyes of lovers are "glittering", this is true! Indeed it does happen that the pupil of the eye (it is the black spot inside the iris of the eye) is enlarged when you meet someone you like, but when antipathy is involved, the pupil will involuntarily shrink its dimensions. It is just like you would be looking into the light with wide open eyes; to protect your eyes, your pupil will reduce significantly and visibly in order to keep the excess light out so it would not hurt the eye, the same way when it is dark, the pupil "opens" to receive as much light as possible.

Therefore, if you want to know how the person in front of you really feels about you, take a good look at what happens with the pupil of her/his eyes.
