perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.
View quotes by Anthony RobbinsWell: what we gain by science is, after all, sadness, as the Preacher saith. The more we know of the laws and nature of the Universe the more ghastly a business we
perceive it all to be - and the non-necessity of it.
View quotes by Thomas HardyLittle do men
perceive what solitude is, and how far it extendeth. For a crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.
View quotes by Francis BaconIn theory one is aware that the earth revolves, but in practice one does not
perceive it, the ground upon which one treads seems not to move, and one can live undisturbed. So it is with Time in one's life.
View quotes by Marcel ProustBy means of microscopic observation and astronomical projection the lotus flower can become the foundation for an entire theory of the universe and an agent whereby we may
perceive Truth
View quotes by Yukio MishimaIt is easier to
perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.
View quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von GoetheMen always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we
perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache.
View quotes by Gilbert Keith ChestertonIndividuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly
perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.
View quotes by William JamesIt's really questioning where humanity is going, and is there a place for the way we
perceive things now? Does that have to remain the same? Is anything constant? The world is constantly evolving, as is humanity. It's really about evolution and taking charge of humanity's next step. [on The Dune Saga]
View quotes by James McavoyIn our country, true teams rarely exist . . . social barriers and personal ambitions have reduced athletes to dissolute cliques or individuals thrown together for mutual profit . . . Yet these rugby players. with their muddied, cracked bodies, are struggling to hold onto a sense of humanity that we in America have lost and are unlikely to regain. The game may only be to move a ball forward on a dirt field, but the task can be accomplished with an unshackled joy and its memories will be a permanent delight. The women and men who play on that rugby field are more alive than too many of us will ever be. The foolish emptiness we think we
perceive in their existence is only our own
View quotes by Victor Cahn In crossing a heath, suppose I pitched my foot against a stone, and were asked how the stone came to be there: I might possibly answer, that for any thing I know to the contrary, it had lain there for ever: nor would it perhaps be very easy to show the absurdity of this answer. But suppose I had found a watch upon the ground, and it should be inquired how the watch happened to be in that place; I should hardly think of the answer which I had before given, that for any thing I knew, the watch might have always been there. Yet why should not this answer serve for the watch, as well as for the stone? why is it not as admissable in the second case as in the first? For this reason, and for no other, viz., that when we come to inspect the watch, we
perceive (what we could not discover in the stone) that its several parts are framed and put together for a purpose . . . This mechanism being observed . . . the inference, we think, is inevitable, that the watch must have had a maker; that there must have existed, at some time, and at some place of other, an artificer or artificers, who formed it for the purpose which we find it actually to answer; who comprehended its construction, and designed its use.
