Don’t look away. Look straight at everything. Look it all in the eye, good and bad.

never bend your head, always hold it high, look the world straight in the face.

It's a crazy, mixed up world and you have to look it right in the eye.

I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it...

Glance into the world just as though time were gone: and everything crooked will become straight to you.

I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the face.

Moral clarity is the lens that brings the world into sharp focus.

The world is really a big straight line. Sometimes the world is actually a punchline. There are things that happen and you'll say, 'I can't believe that. Can you believe that?' And for that reason you don't have to tilt your head because the world at that time is coming at you at a forty-five degree angle, so they're out of wack. But most of the world appears to be straight and level, so you've got to tilt your head forty-five degrees and your vision becomes: how can I take that reality and just distort it enough to suit my purposes? To show them the craziness is there but it's just well-disguised.

When lying to someone, look him straight in the eye.

Those who wish to sit, shut their eyes,
and meditate to know if the world's true or lies,
may do so. It's their choice. But I meanwhile
with hungry eyes that can't be satisfied
shall take a look at the world in broad daylight.

Look with all your eyes, look.

Be straightforward. Look at things like a man, like a human being, like a citizen, like a mortal. (Hays translation)

look at the world with quiet eyes.
