I just read this passage from George Orwell's
1984, and it has caught my attention.
Quote:

He picked up the children's history book and looked at the picture of Big Brother which formed its frontpiece. The hypnotic eyes gazed into his own. It was as thought some huge force were pressing down upon you--something that penetrated inside your skull, battering against your brain frightening you out of your beliefs, persuading you, almost, to deny the evidence of your senses.

Reminds me of the The Ring and the Eye of Sauron.
The Mirror of Galadriel

But he also knew that it could not see him--not yet, not unless he willed it. The Ring that hung upon its chain about his neck grew heavy, heavier than a great stone, and his head was dragged downwards.
