The only people I would care to be with now are artists and people who have suffered: those who know what beauty is, and those who know what sorrow is: nobody else interests me.

Marcel Proust

The large eyes of a raptor are positioned on the front of the face, affording binocular vision and excellent depth perception. If our eyes were as large in proportion to our bodies as the eyes of a Red-tailed Hawk, they would be about the size of tennis balls.  – From Red-tailed Hawk by Charles R. Preston
