"Even if everybody is looking at the same light bulb, the unique composition of an individual will dictate how they interpret and see things. Some people will only see things with their left eye (mind/moon), while others will use only their right (heart/sun). Some people are completely void of light and repel it immediately. For instance, a beetle will chase after an opening of light, while a cockroach will scatter at a crack of it. How are we different than the insects? Nobody is purely good or purely evil. Most of us are in-between. There are moths that explore the day and butterflies that play at night. Polarity is an integral part of nature - human or not human."
"Don't allow your imagination to colour events as lesser men would, and see movement in motionless things."
"For us, a pretty bird is a pretty bird; for an insect, pretty bird is an ugly enemy!"
"Appearance matters, we see your presentation before we get a chance to sample the substance within. You might miss a chance for the latter."
"There are many degrees of sight and many degrees of blindness. What senses do we lack that we cannot see another world all around us?"
"Everything is just how I imagined it, yet everything is new."
"Hatred, as well as love, renders its votaries credulous."
"But there's so much that was a lie, it's hard to figure out what was true, what was real, what matters."
