When you focus all your attention on what is seen, your eyes will be blinded to what is real.... You must see the invisible, dream the impossible, and believe the unfathomable.

Sight is much the noblest of the senses; we receive our notices from the other four through the organs of sensation only; we hear, we feel, we smell, we taste, by touch; but sight rises infinitely higher; it is refined above matter, and equals the faculty of spirit.

LAURENCE STERNE

What people see is influenced by who they are. People in the same room will look at the same things and see everything totally differently.... Each of us has his or her own bent, and that colors our view of everything. What is around us doesn't determine what we see. What is within us does.

Would you rather have sight, or insight? I'd rather have a double cheeseburger.

JAROD KINTZ

A Zebra is the Piano of the Animal Kingdom


Of more validity is the sight of one eye than the attention of ten ears; for in that a man seeth is an assurance, and that he heareth may be an error.

GEORGE TURBERVILLE

attributed, Day's Collacon


Still, the one who best understands the significance of light is not the electrician, not the painter, not the photographer, but the man who lost his sight in adulthood. There must be the wisdom of deficiency in deficiency, just as there is the wisdom of plenty in plenty.

True-sight is an individuated awareness. It comes from a living relationship with the here and now and the Otherworld, the mythic and the historic, the conscious and the unconscious. Thus, the first step toward true- sight is education.

ARTHUR ROWAN

The importance of sight is so great that all the superior and most of the inferior animals have been provided with it. A large proportion of our ideas owe their origin to this sense. Works of genius and the records of knowledge are addressed to it, and without it could neither have existence nor utility.

HENRY MCCORMAC

It's hubris to think that the way we see things is everything there is.
