Sees Quotes (page 356)

But the man who is not afraid to admit everything that he sees to be wrong with himself, and yet recognizes that he may be the object of God's love precisely because of his shortcomings, can begin to be sincere. His sincerity is based on confidence, not in his own illusions about himself, but in the endless, unfailing mercy of God. Thomas Merton
Anais Nin quote: "It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are..."
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with, we cease to see. Anais Nin
She curled up and pressed her cheek against his chest. Her ear was right above his heart. She was listening to his thoughts. "I need to know this," Aomame said. "That we're in the same world, seeing the same things. Haruki Murakami
Audre Lorde quote: "How much of this truth can I bear to see and still..."
How much of this truth can I bear to see and still live unblinded? How much of this pain can I use? Audre Lorde
And yet viewing several depictions of even an imaginary city, is enlightening in a way," Leibniz said. "Each painter can view the city from only one standpoint at a time, so he will move about the place, and paint it from a hilltop on one side, then a tower on the other, then from a grand intersection in the middle--all in the same canvas. When we look at the canvas, then, we glimpse in a small way how God understands the universe--for he sees it from every point of view at once. By... Neal Stephenson
It is far easier to write an angry letter than to go and say angry things to another person - because as soon as we look in one another's faces we can see the other point of view. Colin Wilson
O God, when I listen to the voices of animals, the sounds of trees, the murmurings of water, the singing of birds, the whistling of the wind, or the boom of thunder, I see in them evidence of Your unity; I feel that You are supreme power, omniscience, supreme knowledge, and supreme justice. I recognize You, O God, in the trials I am going through. May Your pleasure be my pleasure, too. May I be Your joy, the joy that a Father feels for a son. And may I think of You calmly and with... Paulo Coelho
Jim Morrison quote: "The subject says: I see first many things which dance... then..."
The subject says: I see first many things which dance... then everything gradually becomes connected. Jim Morrison
[Miracles] . . . seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made fine, so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears hear what is there about us always. Willa Cather
Henry Miller quote: "One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing..."
One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things. Henry Miller
She’s really gone, then. The little girl with the back of her shirt sticking out like a duck tail, the one who needed help reaching the dishes, and who begged to see the frosted cakes in the bakery window. Time and tragedy have forced her to grow too quickly, at least for my taste, into a young woman who stitches bleeding wounds and knows our mother can hear only so much. Suzanne Collins
Tell me something. Why did I have to know the truth about Margot and know it with absolute certainty? Or rather why, knowing the truth, did I have to know more, prove more, see? Does one need to know more, ever more and more, in order that one put off acting on it or maybe even not act at all? Walker Percy
Way back when the Sam Peckinpah film The Wild Bunch premiered, a woman journalist raised her hand at the press conference and asked the following: “Why in the world do you have to show so much blood all over the place?” She was pretty worked up about it. One of the actors, Ernest Borgnine, looked a bit perplexed and fielded the question. “Lady, did you ever see anyone shot by a gun without bleeding?” This film came out at the height of the Vietnam War. I love that ... Haruki Murakami
I so wanted out of this conversation, but it was like a car accident: Once you started spinning, you could only wait and see what you hit. Laurell K. Hamilton
Muhammad Ali quote: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit..."
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see. Muhammad Ali
