One Eye in the Mirror

Following up on the last post, here's what some others said about personal perception (with an emphasis on visual perception.) 

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." —Anais Nin

"The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter—often an unconscious, but still truthful interpreter—in the eye." —Charlotte Bronte

"As a man is, so he sees." —William Blake

"The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." —Marcel Proust, "The Captive," Remembrance of Things Past

"What you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing; it also depends on what sort of person you are." —C.S. Lewis, The Magician's Nephew

"One has not only an ability to perceive the world but an ability to alter one's perception of it; more simply, one can change things by the manner in which one looks at them." —Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
