"We regard the photograph, the picture on our wall, as the object itself (the man, landscape, and so on) depicted there. This need not have been so. We could easily imagine people who did not have this relation to such pictures. Who, for example, would be repelled by photographs, because a face without color and even perhaps a face in reduced proportions struck them as inhuman."

"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."
"Illusion is a false perception but delusion is a fixed false belief."
"You know a man is interesting when you forget to notice how expensive - or cheap - his clothes are."
"What the culture of get rich quick does to our people is they look down at people who are engaged in manual labour."
"If you want to see beauty, look with love and appreciation and you will find it."
"What you see is not true, but what you think about what you see is the truth."
"Since non-verbal signals have five times the impact of verbal signals, paying attention to the image you are projecting is crucial to your first impressions."
"A true religious person should not think that "my religion alone is the right path and other religions are false. Other religions are also so many paths leading to the same domain of transcendental bliss. Likewise, no person should think "my perception of the reality is the only absolute reality, and all others' are false, because each human brain has its own unique way of perceiving the reality."
"When perception will change then today's sadness could be tomorrow's happiness."
"It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place."

"A man's thinking goes on within his consciousness in a seclusion in comparison with which any physical seclusion is an exhibition to public view."
"It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed "Wisdom." And then I know exactly what is going to follow: "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.""
"Getting hold of the difficulty deep down is what is hard. Because if it is grasped near the surface it simply remains the difficulty it was. It has to be pulled out by the roots; and that involves our beginning to think about these things in a new way. The change is as decisive as, for example, that from the alchemical to the chemical way of thinking. The new way of thinking is what is so hard to establish. Once the new way of thinking has been established, the old problems vanish; indeed they become hard to recapture. For they go with our way of expressing ourselves and, if we clothe ourselves in a new form of expression, the old problems are discarded along with the old garment."
"Where two principles really do meet which cannot be reconciled with one another, then each man declares the other a fool and a heretic."
