Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.

La belleza está en los ojos del que mira, y puede ser necesario de vez en cuando ponerle un ojo morado al espectador estúpido o desinformado.

When I was a child, my mother told me that she had eyes in the back of her head and that she could see through walls.

Cuando era una niña, mi madre me dijo que ella tenia ojos en la parte posterior de la cabeza y que ella podía ver a través de las paredes.
