Quotes About Perception

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Oscar Wilde

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Edgar Allan Poe

The more I see, the less I know for sure.

We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.

Nicholas Sparks

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough

Oprah Winfrey

It's a terrible thing to see and have no vision.

Helen Keller

People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.

Epictetus

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.

George Bernard Shaw

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up till he sees all things through the narrow chinks of his cavern.
