About This Quote
Her eyes were springs from which ecstasy drew water. The word “ecstasy” is derived from the Greek “Ekstasis” meaning "a standing outside oneself." When you are in the presence of someone who makes you feel wonderful, you experience a state of ecstasy. This is similar to falling in love. The two experiences are very different, but they both bring an excitement that can change your life. You may not be able to explain it, but you know it when you feel it.
