One of the fastest things a fruit fly does is take information from its eyes and react accordingly.

Michael Dickinson

If you watch a fly on, say, a coffee table, you'll see that they're rubbing their little legs together to groom themselves; they're actually quite clean creatures.

Michael Dickinson

We discovered that fruit flies alter course in less than one one-hundredth of a second, 50 times faster than we blink our eyes, which is faster than we ever imagined.

Michael Dickinson

Although they might not admit it, I think girls are very aware of the impact that they're having. But they never feel it themselves, and it's impossible to explain. It's like trying to tell a blind person what yellow is.

Alex Kapranos Musician

Our society is blind. We have lost our ability to be affected by imagery.

Alfredo Jaar Artist

It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.

Ben Harper Singer-Songwriter

To all apparent beauties blind, each blemish strikes an envious mind.

Benjamin Franklin Founding Father Of The United States

There's nothing better than a good, blind referee.

Bobby Heenan Professional Wrestling Manager

The eyes of some of the fans at Davis Cup matches scare me. There's no light in them. Fixed emotions. Blind worship. Horror. It makes me think of what happened to us long ago.

Boris Becker Tennis Player
