“Each pale yellow wrapper has a picture on it. Mother, Father, Dick, and Jane live in the green-and-white house.” But I could examine it to see what it was that all the world said was lovable.” “If there is somebody with bluer eyes than mine, then maybe there is somebody with the bluest eyes. The loved one is shorn, neutralized, frozen in the glare of the lover’s inward eye.” The lover alone possesses his gift of love. Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love of a free man is never safe. “Love is never any better than the lover. They lived there because they were poor and black, and they stayed there because they believed they were ugly.”
“The Breedloves did not live in a storefront because they were having temporary difficulty adjusting to the cutbacks at the plant.
“Adults, older girls, shops, magazines, newspapers, window signs-all the world had agreed that a blue-eyed, yellow-haired, pink-skinned doll was what every girl child treasured.” “It had occurred to Pecola some time ago that if her eyes, those eyes that held the pictures, and knew the sights-if those eyes of hers were different, that is to say, beautiful, she herself would be different.” First, I share what I deem to be the best quotes from The Bluest Eye so that you can quickly and easily access the top ones.
