More on Perception
Appearances to the mind are of four kinds. Things either are what they appear to be; or they neither are, nor appear to be; or they are, and do not appear to be; or they are not, and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man’s task.
› Epictetus

› Nelson Mandela
Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods. Every time you do you will be certain to find something you have never seen before.
› Alexander Graham Bell
Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
› Buddha

› Nathaniel Hawthorne
The primary imagination I hold to be the living power and prime agent of all human perception, and as a repetition in the finite mind of the eternal act of creation in the infinite I am.
› Samuel Taylor Coleridge
