" Ask anyone what sense he would preserve above all others. Must would say sight , forfeiting a million eyes in the body for two in the skull. Blind we could live and possibly discover wisdom. Without touch, we would turn into hunks of wood. Why should the eyes be called 'windows of soul' and key to deepest human communion , and touch denied as mild collisions of flesh ? Mates are chosen first by visual appeal. Not odor, rhytm, skin. It is an error to believe that the eye can caress a woman. Her image is never real in the eye, it is engraved on the ends of the fingers. Why is blindness holy ? Do we create light in the eye ? Is the light our own, or from the world ? " ( Eye - Jim Morrison )
