Dazzled Quotes

“A sensible man will remember that the eyes may be confused in two ways—by a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; and he will recognize that the same thing happens to the soul. When he sees it troubled and unable to discern anything clearly, instead of laughing thoughtlessly, he will ask whether, coming from a brighter existence, its unaccustomed vision is obscured by the darkness, in which case he will think its condition enviable and its life a happy one; or whether, emerging from the depths of ignorance, it is dazzled by excess of light.”
― Plato, The Republic

“ “Dance with me, blossom,” he coaxes, and when I hesitate, he reels me in with his magic. I snuggle into his chest and let myself savor his vitality, wishing I could absorb it.
He wraps an arm around my waist and clasps my hand with his. Lips pressed to my dreadlocked head, he hums the lullaby’s tune while his inner voice fills my head on a frequency only I can hear: “You dazzled me today. So uninhibited. So filled with malice.” ”
― A.G. Howard, Ensnared

“There's a lot we need to talk about, Poppy.'

'There is.' Namely the whole marriage nonsense. 'But talking doesn't require you to be shirtless.'

'Talking doesn't require any clothes at all.' That smoky grin of his returned. 'I can promise you that some of the most interesting conversations take place with no clothes to speak of.'''

Heat blasted my cheeks. 'I'm sure you've had a ton of experience with those types of conversations.'

'Jealous?' Propping his elbow on the arm of the chair, he rested his chin in his palm.

'Hardly.'

The grin increased, and even though I couldn't see the dimple beyond the fingers splayed across his jaw and cheek, I knew it had to be there. 'Then... distracted?'

'No,' I liked, and then lied some more. 'Not even remotely.'

'Ah, I understand. You're dazzled.'

'Dazzled?' A surprised laugh almost broke free. And there it was again, the slight widening of his eyes, the parting of his lips, and the absence of arrogance. It was like watching him slip off a mask, but I had no idea if what was revealed was just another mask, especially when the look disappeared as his features became unreadable again.

I exhaled slowly. 'We don't need to talk about your over-inflated ego. That has been long since established.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire
