“The seeing of objects involves many sources of information beyond those meeting the eye when we look at an object. It generally involves knowledge of the object derived from previous experience, and this experience is not limited to vision but may include the other senses: touch, taste, smell, hearing, and perhaps also temperature or pain.” LooksMayEyePainVisionSeeingInformationObjectsSourcePerspectiveTasteMeetingsHearingSmellSensesTemperature Author:Richard Gregory

“Men must always have distinguished (e.g. in judicial matters) between hearsay and seeing with one's own eyes and have preferred what one has seen to what he has merely heard from others. But the use of this distinction was originally limited to particular or subordinate matters. As regards the most weighty matters the first things and the right way the only source of knowledge was hearsay.” MenWayFirstsMatterUseEyeSeeingHeardParticularSourceRegardDistinctionRight WayDistinguishedJudicialSubordinatesHearsay Book:Natural Right and History Source: Natural Right and History
“When we sit, we open our own treasure house. Rather than do this, however, most of us first seek to find the treasures another person can provide. We calculate their value to us. When we approach relationships in this manner, we are coming as beggars, seeing the other as a source of supply. When we can enter a relationship with our treasure house already open, there is no end to the wonders we can find, both within and between ourselves and another.” FirstsPersonsEndsValuesHouseWonderRelationshipSeeingSourceApproachTreasureBeggar Book:Zen and the Art of Falling in Love Source: Zen and the Art of Falling in Love
“We tend to misunderstand the colour black, seeing it as evil, or negation of life.

“We like to think we're superior to the people who, centuries ago, burned 'witches' for no better reason than a neighbor's belief that his crop failure or impotence was caused by that woman's action.

“Our incredible bewilderment (wilderness separation) blinds us from seeing that our many personal and global problems primarily result from our assault of and separation from the natural creation process within and around us.

“As I have come to realize that we all live and move and have our being in God, the names of each person, species, creature, and element are superimposed over God's name. God is reality; God is the source of reality of each of us.

“The fanatical Communist refuses to believe any unfavorable report or evidence about Russia, nor will he be disillusioned by seeing with his own eyes the cruel misery inside the Soviet promised land. It is the true believer's ability to "shut his eyes and stop his ears" to facts that do not deserve to be either seen or heard which is the source of his unequaled fortitude and constancy. He cannot be frightened by danger, nor disheartened by obstacles, nor baffled by contradictions because he denies their existence.” BelieveFactsEyeAbilityExistenceSeeingHeardLandDangerSourceEvidenceDeserveEarsMiseryRefuseObstaclesDenyBelieverRussiaHis EyesReportsContradictionFrightenedCommunistSovietFortitudeConstancyTrue BelieverDisillusionedPromised LandBaffledDisheartened Author:Eric Hoffer
