“People always think we look for love at our lowest to distract us. I am convinced we do it because we want someone to look us in the eye, to look our ugly in the eye and still choose us. I didn’t want a distraction, I wanted you to see a mess and still find me worthy of love, to tell me that you could still love me anyway.”
― Georges Bataille, The Dead Man

“I always saw her. I knew her better than anyone. So if my colleague is right and we’re doomed to write what we know, then I’ve condemned myself to a thousand lifetimes with this woman, because for me, there’s never been anyone else.”
― Nenia Campbell, Little Deaths

“You've heard it said that what you see is what you get. But what I've discovered is that it's not what you see, but what you think you see, that determines what you get.”
― Steve Goodier

“When babies are born, they can typically only focus on objects eight to twelve inches in front of them. Their eye muscles strengthen and improve quickly so that they can see and take in more of the world through their eyes.
I find it somewhat ironic that most of the human race now spends so much time staring at objects â€� phones and tablets â€� eight to twelve inches in front of our faces. Perhaps we all just want to return to our childhood?”

“I was there that day, you know,' Alis said, folding her spindly arms across her chest. 'I saw the Morrigan arrive. Saw her reach into that cocoon of power and pick you up like a child. I begged her to take you out.'

My swallow wasn't feigned.

'I never told him that. Never told any of them. I let them think you'd been abducted. But you clung to her, and she was willing to slaughter all of us for what had happened.'

'I don't know why you'd assume that.' I tugged the edges of my silk robe tighter around me.

'Servants talk. And Under the Mountain, I never heard of or saw Rhysand laying a hand on a servant. Guards. Amarantha's cronies, the people he was ordered to kill, yes. But never the meek. Never those unable to defend themselves.'

'He's a monster.'

'They say you came back different. Came back wrong.' A crow's laugh. 'I never bother to tell them I think you came back right. Came back right at last.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin

“For all the talk about common sense, common sense is not always sensical and there are often more intelligent (albeit, less obvious) solutions. Further, what is good common sense in one environment is far from common or sensical in another environment. It is situational. City slickers can be a danger to themselves and others in the country, but the reverse is also true.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“My happiness comes and goes like anyone, but my joy comes from seeing people thrive.”
― Richie Norton

“Don't let the ceiling stop you from seeing the stars.”
― Anthony T. Hincks

“Anything, seen without prejudice, is enormous.”

“What he had loved most about carving was the SEEING part, which happened even before you began. Sometimes you saw a car or a truck. Sometimes a dog or cat. Once, he remembered, it had been the face of an idol--one of the spooky Easter Island monoliths he had seen in an issue of National Geographic at school. That had turned out to be a good one. The game was to find out how much of that thing you could get out of the wood without breaking it. You could never get it all, but if you were very careful, you could sometimes get quite a lot.”
― Stephen King, The Waste Lands

“Could it not be the case that if one loves something one sees it better and more truly than if one did not love it?”
― Vincent van Gogh

“Our eyes are the portal into our brains for most of the information that we take in. Those who profit from our attention â€� including advertisers, media companies, and app designers â€� know this, and so there are a lot of forces vying for our eyeballs at all times.”
― Thatcher Wine, The Twelve Monotasks: Do One Thing at a Time to Do Everything Better

“True exstacy flow in abundance, in the exstatic world.”
― Monatistw

“Although uncomfortable, embarrassment is a necessary pre-runner to recognising one’s mistakes and making progress on the path. Speaking openly about our faults, in a well-intentioned but direct manner, is often humorous because we all tend to know the truth about people even though it is usually not stated outright.”
― Donna Goddard, Pittown

“God - A mystery, a great difficulty for us to define. Nevertheless we agree, the truly highest possible state of being.

Perspective - To see.

Humble - Seeing how the chemical rush we feel in our bodies [almost urging us to feel great or proud] is completely unfounded if God is also in the room.

If we are greater than someone, it is only by a very small amount. But, we have a tendency of allowing a single drop of water to soak us in full.

It may be true that chimps differ from us only by a miniscule percent, though it's worth noting that each difference as meassured within percent can be very unequal. Great value can spring from small contributions as meassured in size or otherwise.

It can be healthy to always compare ourselves to God, before comparing ourselves to others. As the Sun to the Earth, before the Earth to the Moon.

Standing firm.”
― Tharistw

“Some things are best hidden by remaining directly in front of everyone’s eyes.”
― Donna Goddard, Purnima

“Learn to picture stars as part of the body of the universe and then you will learn that we hold the same stars within us.”
― Anthony T. Hincks

“All this impressive physiology produces more than mere flight. The hawk dances on air. In just ten seconds, she stopped a rapid dive, rose vertically while turning, swept in a new direction, flapped upward, and curved into a rising arc, ending with a stall that parked her feet directly over a maple branch. The precision and beauty of bird flight is so familiar that our wonder is jaded. We should be frozen in amazement at the cardinal landing on the feeder or the sparrow banking around cars in a parking lot. Instead, we walk by as if an animal pirouetting on air were unremarkable, even mundane. The hawk's dramatic rise over the mandala's center jolts me out of dullness, pulling away the blinding layers of familiarity.”
― David George Haskell, The Forest Unseen: A Year’s Watch in Nature

“If my vision comes to a halt at the surface of a thing, I have missed the whole of the thing.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“The true nature of a person is communicated as much, perhaps even more, by touch than by the look in his eyes.”
― May Sarton, As We Are Now

“If you only ever look at what is obvious, you’ll always see the wrong things.”
― Jonathan Heimberg

“Geir gave me the chance to look at life and understand it, Linda gave me the chance to live it. In the first instance I became visible to myself, in the second I vanished. That's the difference between friendship and love.”
― Karl Ove Knausgaard, Min kamp 6

“If there is no freedom within you, you won’t inspire anyone.

If a star is born only in the sky and not in you, you won’t see the light.”
― David Dephy, Eastern Star: Poems

“When you see corrupt police officers, what you are really seeing is a corrupt internal affairs system.”
― Steven Magee

“Wherever you look, what you don't see is always more than what you see, for two reasons: Your eyesight is poor; but even if your eyesight is very strong, this time your desire to see everything is limited! You only look at certain things and ignore everything else!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“It is said that in order to see far, one must always have a sharp eye, but in fact, it is necessary to have a sharp mind!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“El diablo tiene tan bien oído que no necesita que se le digan las cosas en voz alta, Entonces que dios nos valga, No vale la pena, ése es sordo de nacimiento.”
