Eye,
"The heretic is always better dead. And mortal eyes cannot distinguish the saint from the heretic."
"Heavy pillars, carved from the rock, bear the roof. Slowly, one's eyes become accustomed to the dim light; then they can make out marvelous representations from Indian mythology carved on the walls."
"I have glaucoma, so use eye drops both morning and night."
"I like to browse in Cartier, Chanel and Gucci and if something special grabs my eye I splash out."

"The question of how the eye works - that is, what happens when a photon of light first impinges on the retina - simply could not be answered at that time."
"It is a shock to us in the twentieth century to discover, from observations science has made, that the fundamental mechanisms of life cannot be ascribed to natural selection, and therefore were designed. But we must deal with our shock as best we can and go on."
"Throughout history there have been many other examples, similar to that of Haeckel, Huxley and the cell, where a key piece of a particular scientific puzzle was beyond the understanding of the age."
"Since natural selection requires a function to select, an irreducibly complex biological system, if there is such a thing, would have to arise as an integrated unit for natural selection to have anything to act on."
"In Darwin's time all of biology was a black box: not only the cell, or the eye, or digestion, or immunity, but every biological structure and function because, ultimately, no one could explain how biological processes occurred."
"Proteins are the machinery of living tissue that builds the structures and carries out the chemical reactions necessary for life."
"It was a shock to people of the nineteenth century when they discovered, from observations science had made, that many features of the biological world could be ascribed to the elegant principle of natural selection."
