An Unknown Woman Quotes

“But there is saying, and there is doing, and almost always people do something better than they can talk about it, as though the minded body defeats every attempt to select out only the mind part as deserving sole responsibility for the success.”
― Alice Koller, An Unknown Woman

“The endlessness of reflecting myself in other people's eyes. Turn a pair of eyes on me and instantly I begin looking in them for myself. I seem to believe there is no Me except in other eyes. I am what I see in your eyes, whoever you are. Why can't I see? What's wrong with my own eyes? If I knew how to look at what I see, then what? Then I wouldn't need other people's eyes.”
― Alice Koller, An Unknown Woman
