Shut

"You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut."

"Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart and his friends can only read the title."

"I feel so intensely the delights of shutting oneself up in a little world of one’s own, with pictures and music and everything beautiful."

"One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts."
