There is no "immaculate perception"; perception is virtually always a blend of what we are sensing now and what we've learned previously.”

“Time is a wave or a black hole could not bend it; humanity rides the crest of an infinite number of waves that are perceived as linear in their limited frame of reference.”

“Like the moon shining bright Up high with all its grace, I can only show you at night And hide half of my face.”

“You can make the argument that there's no such thing as the past. Nobody lived in the past. They lived in the present. It is their present, not our present, and they don't know how it's going to come out. They weren't just like we are because they lived in that very different time. You can't understand them if you don't understand how they perceived reality.”

“Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what we look for.

What we take to be true is our reality.”
