Blue-Eyed Quotes

On a look often treated as a stand-in for a certain kind of beauty.

These blue-eyed quotes look at how the trait gets used as a cultural shorthand, from beauty standards tied to being blonde and blue-eyed to a genetics-minded aside about which parent's features a child inherits.


A few quotes also point out how narrow that beauty standard can be, noting who tends to get left out of it. See the Beauty and Identity collections for related perspectives.
