"It is not good to make everyday decision based upon what we see and what other people are saying or thinking."

"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."

"Changing your perception will alter your interpretations and therefore, your reality. If you feel like you're hitting a wall because you simply don't understand something, or another person has a different approach, keep your mind open and willing to reinterpret it with fresh eyes, more information, a change in position, or a new perspective."

"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."

"When you are seeing a person, you are not really seeing him. You are seeing his reflection through the mirror of your mind."

"When you have orientational awareness, your perceptions and impressions are based on location and proximity. Orientation may imply hierarchy, position, and prestige, or be the result of habits, traditions, and perceptions."

"What you see is not true, but what you think about what you see is the truth."

"You're not actually falling for him, are you?" he asks her one day, on one of the rare occasions he can get her alone."I'll pretend you didn't just ask that," she tells him in disgust. But Connor has reasons to wonder."On that first night here, he offered you his blanket, and you accepted it," he points out."Only because I knew it would make him cold.""And when he offers you his food, you take it.""Because it means he goes hungry."It's coolly logical.

My God... what have we done?"
